SHAME OF THE NATION

our equivalent, countdown got cancelled over a decade ago.

I’ve just come in at number 25 I’m oh so happy, so glad to be alive And everybody says it’s going to get to the top Life is so easy when your record’s hot. Go tell my mamma and my sister too To press my trousers and polish my shoes I might even end up a rock-and-roll god It might turn into a steady job. And my agent said to me: son, I always told you so. Now my record’s number 11 on the bbc But number seven on the n.m.e. Not the melody maker want to interview me And ask my view on politics and theories on religion. Now my record’s up to number 3 And a woman recognized me and started to scream This all seems like a crazy dream I’ve been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen And now I’ve got friends that I never knew I had before. It’s strange how people want you when you record’s high ’cos when it drops down they just pass you by Now my agent just called me and said it me: Son your record’s just got to number one.

A crying shame.To say that it faces fierce competition from rivals doesn't justify cancelling it.The more music programmes on telly the better.To give them their due,they did make the good move to play more live stuff,rather than mimed.

Good Riddance

Now that could save the programme - get Carol Vorderman doing some mental arithmetic with the chart positions...

yep.and i'm doing it again. rain now stopped. suns out again and grey skies clearing.

'tis pretty nice here, although it's not nearly as warm/sunny as it was last week.

Same here, how strange.

It's almost like we're in the same part of the world or something.

There's quite a few pigeons flying around too.

i thought they merged TOTPT2 into TOTP when they switched channels and the saviour Andi Peters took over.

Dont tell me the Swanjacks are after you again Billy

About time too!

They sure bloomin well took their time knocking that last nail in the coffin didn't they?

They should have stopped faffing about moving it to Beeb 2 and just driven the stake right through its heart to put it out of its - and our - misery.

from the website. really looking forward to this plenty to do. plenty of noise. a wild and crazy place. pubs a mile away. wow...this is gonna be just great.
