My missus got in the audience for TOTP once back in the 90’s and she lucked out with what appeared to be a solid bill of (at the time) indie big-hitters. Forget who she saw, but I now Garbage were among them.

Think it might have been this one, which isn’t as great as I’d been led to believe:

I listened to the one from 2000 the other day where Neil completely let rip about the demise of Melody Maker. That man can sure hold a grudge, as he admits himself!

I used to love it when channel 4 used to show a random video at 6.55pm,because whatever they had plus Hollyoaks couldn’t be stretched to an hour without too many ads

I remember seeing Cake’s “the distance” once and fucking loving it

This feels more like The Chart Show? I never really recall harsh editing on TOTP. The most annoying thing was when the artist wasn’t in the country and you were like, “YES! FINALLY I GET TO SEE A COOL VIDEO,” and then they’d have a live satellite link to a special rehearsal from their concert or something. LAME!

Think this was that slot they had called Fresh Pop maybe? Although that was mid to late 90s.they had an interview with the band then the video.

1999 I worked as a temp at Ofsted fresh from Uni and it turned out a woman in her late 30s temping there was the one who made that show. Said it got canned by Andi Peters when he took over that section.

Remember that C4 Jo Whiley show from 99/00?

I remember it, can’t recall the name though, might have been “the Jo whiley show”. It featured her sitting around with bare feet talking to Billy Bragg, intercut with performances by bands

Like a late review but for middling indie

I can vote if you like, even though I’ve literally never heard of it

This is the first (and I think only) edition of the PopJustice magazine. Look who’s on the cover.

What’s happened to the video of Simon Amstell on Gamesmaster as a 13 year old? It’s disappeared from the Internet.
