Is 1989 the only year they can show?

[UltimateWednesday]

I quite enjoy the ancient TOTP on BBC4 on Friday nights but they're always 1989, which was a terrible year for music. Just a handful of years earlier would be so much better. Is 1989 the only year Jimmy Saville wasn't there? Can't they edit him out?

I think they're just showing them in chronological order. They'll be up to 1990 soon. I'm really enjoying it too!

1989 was amazing.

Yep, working through the years. I hope they go back to the begining again when they get to the end.

I sooooooo agree! I watch it every Friday with , why is it always 1989

do love blackbox ride on time though which they keep playing

I assume once they have cut out all the ones with dodgy presenters that they don't have a lot of choice of what to show.

Totally agree with you op. 1989 was full of Stock Aitken and Waterman rubbish, house and rap. To me, pop music went downhill after 1986.

Exactly 1986 was where it all went to pot.

Which is way older than 1960s were then. How did that happen?!

I love 1980 is just starting on BBC2 😄

They started in 1976 a few years back and are going through in chronological order so the earlier ones have been on already(can you tell I have these set to record on series link!)

I Love 1985 is on at 10:45pm tonight followed by the best of TOTP 1985
