TOTP equivalent?

[NumptyNu]

What's the equivalent to TOTP these days? Looking for a popular music programme that's suitable for primary age kids (so raunchy-video free!)

bloody good question OP. They never should have got rid of it - I'd still watch it. In fact I watch the annual New Year one and it's the only time I get to hear what's been in the charts all year. I think there should be an MN campaign to bring it back. It had its dodgy moments (Jimmy Savile, obvs) but I wouldn't let my kids watch one minute of MTV, it's all so vile, so there's definitely a gap been left by its absence.

Not tv but DD likes to listen to Fun Kids on digital radio. It's quite irritating but I'm a huge music fan so happy for her to be finding her own way to music.

Glad you like the question....

Such a shame that it was canned. It played a vital part in my own childhood, and exposed me to all sorts of music, I just loved TOTP, as well as Top 40 on a Sunday night.

If we can't find the answer, I suggest we lead a rebirth show?

I would love that. I'll be Peter Powell and you can be Bruno Brookes.

Not sure if this is much of a solution....

BBC did a lovely programme called 10 pieces - although this is classical. I know DD2's music group is learning one of the pieces for their concert - and that this is a general challenge:

I will add that for DD1 (not terribly musical) the real pleasure of the programme was that Dick & Dom and Claudia Winkleman (from Strictly - which DD1 adores) were hosting some of the pieces.

HTH

Was thinking the same myself as I loved Totp and Top 40 especially when they announced what was no 1 each week! dd is 8yrs and apart from 1D I'm a bit clueless about pop music.

Let's do it Quangle! Would you be up for a geriatric mummy version of Legs & Co too??? I'm sure we could give Miley Cyrus a run for her money. Lol.

Thanks for those suggestions guys, I'll take a look. There was nothing like tuning in on a Thursday night at 7.30pm though, was there. We still listen to the top 40 on a Sunday. At least that's still going.
