Peter Powell presents the pop chart programme, first broadcast on 22 April 1982. Includes appearances by Pigbag, Bananarama & the Fun Boy Three, Elton John, Kim Wilde, Haircut 100 and Shakin' Stevens. Also includes a dance performance from Zoo.

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.
