Well This press release implies TOTP "Reloaded" is exactly the same as TOTP Saturday
I think it says it's a revamped version of TOTP Saturday, maybe not much but it is still different.

I'm intrigued to find out what the "reloaded" bit means... or whether it's just an attempt at re-invigorating the show...

I like Andi Peters but it's partly his fault and partly that his hands were tied. Friday at 7.30 just isn't the right time for TOTP the BBC won't move it back to Thursday and as for Tim Kash well that mistake was all Andi's!!

Was just about to post the same thing...IMO Andi put the ratings down there, so it should have been his responsibility to bring them back up, but alas, that is not to be.

His hands weren't tied to the point where he had to fill the show with pointless crap.

Andi Peters Quits

Andi Peters has decided to quit his position of executive producer of Top Of The Pops in favour of returning to his presenting roots.
BBC News reports that, though some may see this as a reaction to the show receiving poor ratings and changing of time-slot and channel, a spokeswoman for the broadcaster insisted that 1.1m viewers a week at its current slot was 'really good', adding: "There is no rat, there is no sinking ship."
Peters took over the show two years ago in the hope of revitalising it with a new look and new presenters. However, its ratings hovered around three million viewers per week, less than half of its audience in the mid-90s.
The spokeswoman stated: "The show is performing solidly each week in its BBC Two slot so this isn't the end of the show or time for another re-launch.
"It really is just the case that Andi fancies returning to screen having spent most of his recent years behind the scenes."
Andi will now move on to present BBC One's City Hospital. He explained: "After seven years of making telly, it's great to get to return to the box and even more exciting to be joining a live show, City Hospital."

Will they go for another high profile executive producer to replace him, I wonder?

Okay that's true but the biggest mistake they made with TOTP was before he joined the show, they put it out at the wrong time.

Interesting, he was on national Radio 1 only yesterday going on about TOTP and TOTP Reloaded and the exciting times ahead. A lot can change in 24 hours!
