Shown on BBC4. Watched by Chris Arnsby
[A big wide shot of the Top
of the Pops studio filled with a heaving throng waving balloons around and
dancing to Ottawan's D.I.S.C.O. No, hang on a minute, the Top of the Pops copy of
D.I.S.C.O has been worn flat by constant repetition and instead the
crowd are shuffling to the Stephanie Mills song Never Knew Love Like This
Before].
Peter Powell: "Hello! Welcome to another edition of Top
of the Pops! You're very welcome, as always, and to present the show with me...
one Colin Berry!
Colin Berry: "Nice to be here Peter."
Peter Powell: "And you've been up early in the
morning's haven't you?!"
Colin Berry: "Yes, I've been sitting in for Terry Wogan
all week."
Peter Powell: "What else do you do?! Do you go around
Europe with a jury?!"
Colin Berry: "Yes I do European pop jury once a
month."
Peter Powell: "But this music in Europe is nothing like
the music in Britain! Let's face it!"
Colin Berry: "Oh, you're so right."
Peter Powell: "Just look at our charts, for instance!"
Colin Berry: "Which I'll be doing later on."
Peter Powell: "Good! And meanwhile,we'll tell you exactly who's on the
show, or just some of the acts you can see on tonight's edition of Top of the
Pops!"
