I'm sureni my head that in't be axed.

The'll kep the specials, then they'll run a programme, under the 'T.O.T.P.' brand to run a major music event's coverage.

Then after a christspecial, they'll e a run of five top of the pops, over five weeks.

Then start doing this every year, until this run become series, then I see them just starting Christmas, but not finishing it.

Though, the difference with 'Dcotor Who', was, accoring to my underanding, was that they never really axed it, only suspended production, so that they could find an indie producer. HOwever when all negotions only led to a one-off film, they gtave up, and decided to keep doing it in-house (after continuing too look for an indie for several years after the film.).

If I ha a channel, or a progtrmme, I would never shwo archives cropped into a newer aspect-ratio standard, i would pillar-box it.

Though, can u imagine if 'Jamster' decicided to launch another song last week?!

EDIT: R.A.M. is runing low on resources at this minute, so aS I type, the computer stops processing the words that I am typing, and often stops prcessing then starts processing, there for:

"I'm sure in my head that it won't be axed.";
becomes:
"I'm sureni my head that in't be axed.;
cutting out "... t won..." in "it won't".
&c..

Wasn't there a TOTP clone show on Sunday lunchtimes? I'm going for around the late 90s era. This not to be confused with another music show called the O Zone.
It was called TOTP Plus.

I'm sure that Dani (only one 'n'. Her surname's Be h r - she's not a teddy!) started out on channel 4's "The Word". Cool

Her career according to Wikipedia
