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
