BBC cancels Top Of The Pops, because no one watches it.
Sad news indeed, for anyone who remembers such things of wonder as Morrissey machine-gunning the audience or the guy from Utah Saints shouting out "Utah Saints! U-U-U-Utah Saints!" during TOTP's anti-miming campaign. Or Gary Glitter joining the domino clad Timelords for 'Doctorin' The Tardis'. And so on.

Weird to recall a time when there was barely any other pop music on TV besides TOTP.
..and it was one of the few programmes for which I was allowed to eat my dinner in front of the telly (the others being, naturally, Doctor Who and Tomorrow's World).
I now have that "UTAH SAINTS! UTAH SAINTS!" thing stuck in my head.
TOTP was like a much beloved uncle who had become exceedingly infirm, who pissed all over themselves and spouted shit all the time. Its probably best its gone and we can focus on the good times.
