TOTP to bow out as only the UK's second-favourite music show...
- Artists:
- Jools Holland »
A Yahoo! Music poll has shown that Top Of The Pops - due to bow out this Sunday with a special final show co-presented by Jimmy Saville (pictured!) - isn't the nation's favourite music show.
Later... With Jools Holland was favourite among those polled, earning itself 32% of the overall vote. TOTP came second with 29%.
The all-time poll saw The Old Grey Whistle Test attract the favour of 12% of those polled, while the equally dead The Tube was the favourite of five per cent of those that voted.
Popworld only got four per cent, suggesting that most of those that voted were either a) old or b) Friday-night beer monsters unable to rise in time for Alex and Alexa.
Songs Of Praise earned five per cent of the vote. Laugh out loud?
Yahoo! Music's editor, Gareth Bellamy, commented:
“We’re really surprised by the outcome of this poll. We were sure that Top of the Pops would be seen as the favourite music programme of all time despite its recent axing.”

or
they think alex and alexa are annoying twats who ruined the only good pop show on tv.
fuck off holland
sorry that was a bit harsh but I just had an image of beig trapped in a lift with him - in this weather.
Over a whole series its got enough good stuff for 2 solid progs hasn't it?
I like them more, now...
...I think she's good.
This opinion may be based solely on the fact that she = hot.
Them were t'days...
OGWT & The Tube...
<sigh>
...
What was so good about the old Popworld? That Amstell guy was a cocksmoker. In my eyes, it's better to not feature shit bands rather than simply asking them silly questions.
No mention...
... of Five's shortlived but excellent 'Pop' fronted by Lauren laverne or ITVs The Chart Show (please don't let it be the rock chart this week)...
I used to love staying up late
when I was a kid and watching The Word. Although that presenter bloke was a bit of a piece. What's he doing now?
I've said before...
...and Ill say it again. The White Room which used to be on C4 was the bestest.
If you mean Mark Lamarr, he has a Radio 2 show and is dodging presenting Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
If you mean the other one, he co-wrote 'Jerry Springer: The Opera'.
Does
The Word not count? It got me into more ace bands than TOTP ever did.
