25th Anniversary Special

December 31, 1988 • 1h

0x1

This anniversary episode features new performances and a shedload of clips

from the show's 25 years on air, all introduced by an army of past Pops

presenters. There are no complete archive performances and the clips are all

about 15-30 seconds long and most are accompanied by prototype TOTP2-style

scrolling information. In fact the whole show feels a bit like an extended

episode of TOTP2, which can only be a good thing.

IMHO This show is a much better celebration of TOTP than the dreary '2006 Final

Countdown' was.

Presented by: David Jacobs, Pete Murray, Alan Freeman, Kenny Everett, David

Jensen, Simon Bates, Mark Goodier, Peter Powell, Tony Blackburn, Mike Read, Paul

Gambaccini, Jimmy Savile, David Hamilton

There are way too many clips to list individually, but the studio performances are:

- Swinging Blue Jeans - Hippy Hippy Shake

- The Tremeloes - Silence is Golden

- Mud - Tiger Feet

- Lulu - Shout

- Engelbert Humperdinck - Release Me

- David Essex - Gonna Make You a Star

1996 saw mad cow disease and hostage crises dominating the news, but each week at Elstree, it was feuds and farewells that headlined the pop year. Take That said goodbye, prompting hysteria at the gates of the TOTP studios, and the Britpop battle was far from over. It was also a huge year for dance music, with the likes of Faithless and Underworld hitting the charts, helped by a certain film set in Edinburgh. There were also new stars from the world of hip-hop, as melody and hooks merged with beats to launch the careers of Fugees, Blackstreet and Mark Morrison. The summer saw football anthems and another dance craze courtesy of Los Del Rio’s Macarena, and once you've thrown in Peter Andre, Skunk Anansie, Reef, a controversial change of day and, of course, the Spice Girls, you have another classic year in the story of the UK’s biggest pop music TV show.
