Work Advent Calendar 2017 Day 10: Christmas Top Of The Pops 1987 links



These days most full-length Pops uploads get zapped by the label/publishing copyright police so this foreshortened version looking back at a year of "the old jack mixing and things" is all we're left with, and Smitty's presence (not for the usual reasons, because he didn't sign off on anything of his being repeated without his consent before he died and his estate has chosen to respect his wishes) means we won't see it, or his fight with a bow tie on the second link, on BBC4 this time next year either. Ah well, at least we still have T'Pau vs the Snowman, as Woo Gary mentions, and that under-explained cameo by Andy Gibb, who died three months later.
