Many a Top of the Pops fan hoped the long-running show would go out with a bang... well think again!
The producers of the show in the ever-increasing wisdom have decided that the final programme, recorded yesterday, will contain no live performances.
Instead we’ll be treated to some supposedly “classic” performances from the likes of the Spice Girls, Wham, Robbie Williams and Beyonce Knowles.
It will also feature glowing tributes from a number of unnamed celebrities reminiscing about the show, we wonder if they’ll talk about its destruction by the BBC since it was moved from its original Thursday slot?
Reporting on the contents of the final show, the Beeb today blamed the falling viewing figures on "plummeting singles sales and the growth of 24-hour music channels," glossing over its own massive failures.
As previously reported on Gigwise, the programme will be hosted by Jimmy Saville, Tony Blackburn and Mike Reid.
We think we’ll give it a miss.

Hopefully with their current line of thinking the Beeb will give Jools Holland’s dreadful Hootenany the chop as well.
It proves the ineptness of the Beeb that they can’t get a music program right in the face of a huge surge in popularity of music. We deserve a reduction on our TV licences paying for those lame brains
Andy Peters = Knobhead!
Come on Diesel. Andy did bring us Ed the Duck after all.
Shit, I forgot about Ed. I take it back, he’s a total knob jockey!
