The BBC has axed the annual Top Of The Pops Christmas special this year, instead opting to broadcast an eight-part series of TOTP2, which hasn't been good since Johnny Walker stopped presenting it.
A BBC spokesman told The Sun: "Top Of The Pops was decommissioned in 2006 as it became clear that it no longer occupied the central role it once did. We said at that time the Christmas special would continue but would have to earn its place every year. This year it was felt that pop music would be better represented over Christmas by a special, eight-part series of TOTP2".
As previously reported, the BBC know nothing about pop music and shouldn't be trusted with a legendary pop brand like Top Of The Pops. And that's a fact.
