I can't believe how bad this show looks,crappy logo that looks like something out of the 80's splattered everywhere,same horrible boring black & white checked sets week after week,even when they show US clips they have the same set with that hideous logo.It's a BBC corporate nazi nightmare,that permed dwarf who runs it should be sacked.To think what that show was once upon a time...anyway I've got that off my chest.

the logo is not too bad, what i cant stand now is that if a song drops from number one that week they'll still show the performance of it, usually first - this never used to happen - once something was going down the chart it was forgotten about other than mentioned in the chart rundown - which makes perfect sense. but of course in today's era of instant number ones and so many only lasting a week they have to show it for more than one week in order to try and extend the life of the singles - sucks

everything about the show is godawful. especially the european pop music - it gives me the kind of brainrot headache as nutrasweet.

The worst thing is that Richard Blackwood or something. What a plonker.

I watched some of it last night on Musique Plus. Watching the guy with the broken arm in the audience doing the "Ketchup dance" makes this program anything but a dud.

Did you see Rosie Ribbons last night? How horrible was that? And Who Da Funk! What the fuck, more like. To finish off, I'll give you the chorus of the Blue tune:

One love - for the mother's pride
One love - for the times we cried
One love - gotta stay alive
Oh, I will survive
One love - for the city streets
One love - for the hip-hop beats
One love, oh I do believe
One love is all we need

The mother's pride? The HIP-HOP BEATS?

What Gareth said (but without the excalamaiton marks).

yes TOTP is not up to the usual high standard of everything else in the world. the alternatives are soooo much better
