Al Hine ▶︎⏭︎⏯︎◀︎⏮︎⏸︎ @alhine.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#totp Jamie Theakston got a few things wrong on the 19 May 2000 edtion he hosted- shown on BBC Four last Friday ( 2/10/26) First he said that Gary Numan "Cars" was hit "20 years ago" - er no, that was 1979 - 21 years ago in 2000. 1/2 110
Katy Jay (Head of Programming > Skylab Radio) @katyskylab.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Surprised they got away with playing 'Koochy'. It was embargoed from radio... I remember having it pulled from a show by my producer xx 110
Al Hine ▶︎⏭︎⏯︎◀︎⏮︎⏸︎ @alhine.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Really? I've never heard of a "Koochy" & I invented swearing! That "Big Hits" edition annoyed me a lot, as it was later that year TOTP went back to TV Centre & started using 16:9 aspect ratio, a lot of clips were 4:3 cropped & zoomed to fit 16:9 - you can tell as the video resolution goes grainy 110
