Elton John as a presenter was pretty cool. I do recall Davy Jones of the Monkees co presenting an episode in the late 60s as well though Jimmy Savile had to guide him through most of the talking
@@LFOVCF you know that for a fact . I don’t. I’ve recently talked to a retired army officer. One of two officers that had to go to a hotel room years ago to rescue a couple of 16 year old boys ( army cadets ) from the clutches of matey and his mate . I know a liar when I see one . And I sure this man in his sixties wasn’t making it up .also watch the jimll fix it with kitty singing in that ladies kitchen. Savilles car drops him of , and there’s something about it that would just make any normal person uncomfortable. I understand from people I know that have met him that he’s a jolly nice bloke , he made my brother in law a orange squash.
@@jockmctodger what ? Is it the fact that he made my brother in law a drink on a hot day while he was trying to sell windows door to door. Or are you saying the retired officer was lying. I can’t possibly know that one for a fact of course, but I’m pretty sure he had nothing to gain and no reason to lie.
What's The Issue With The Audio ? ? ? Sounds Like The Audio For This Programme Was Recorded In A Long Echoey Tunnel Because The Audio Sounds Very Distant In The Right Channel And There Is An Annoying Low Frequency Hum In The Left Channel ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Leo Sayer has a poo catapult,which he fires poo into his neighbours garden, his neighbours are Rod,Jane and Freddy from iconic kids TV show Rainbow 🌈 FACT.
Weeks at Number One: Wings 9 weeks, ABBA 9 weeks (with two singles), followed by Elvis Presley with 5 weeks, and Rod Stewart with 4. One of these acts never made it into this retrospective...
@@georgesyrimis3583 I wondered if it was Elvis since he died in 1977. SO I did a little fast forwarding and find Stewart,and Elvis. McCartney tacked on to the end. A transition year in music, since it is all over the place. DIsco to Punk.
Julien - Thank you so much, I have been trying to remember what this was for years. As it happens, I remember the tune but I could never have named the band or title.
No mention of an important and historic mistake. Is that because they realise it was? That summer, just after the Pistols debacle in fact, was it intended to make the show less cool? they stopped using the classic Whole Lotta Love theme. They replaced it with just using a different current record as the theme each week. 1977 was the time of a Great Theme Tunes Vandalism. I aged 9 at the time noticed it very vividly, and wish the nostalgia industry would show some awareness, analyse it and tell us wtf cultural conspiracy was going on in the BBC that motivated it? They pointlessly dropped the classic themes that have always remained well remembered and loved, on 3 shows at once - TOTP, Animal Magic, and Nationwide - and replaced them with crap everyone has forgotten. Because there was no web or UA-cam then, gone meant gone, you couldn't still hear those themes. It had more impact than it would now. Was it to make the country less self-assured and feelgood about 70s culture and more depressed so that we would vote for Thatcher? Only reason I can think of.
That’s an actor pretending to be Richard Hewson of the RAH Band. Richard wasn’t available so they assembled a weird balaclava-clad ’band’ at the last minute.
‘He was in a very odd position in 1977, Marc Bolan. In some ways he’s the ghost of pop past. It’s this...weird thing, this guy that simultaneously appears to be slightly washed up....and suddenly vibrant...again’
I don't remember him very much, the other presenters like DLT yes, mainly because Saville's presenting style was becoming a bit cliched by this time and I just ignored it

I like that ,I've heard it before , thanks for the memory 😬👌
Dreadful sound, humming in left ear, and echo in right....sorry cant put up with this one......
What do you mean? Just watch it without the headphones or earphones (or whatever ear gadget you use :p)
Nope, can't listen to this. Too much echo, and clearly a poorly earthed amp.
They were banned by the BBC though^^
echo?
My father in law Eric Ford playing guitar in the BBC Orchestra!
enjoyed it, echo not that bad, better than sound cutting out, thanks for the upload.
1977 a good year for music but a bad year for echo.

The echo doesn't ruin the music bizarrely
Sounds like your watching in a tunnel great upload though
Yes. Talking through a couple of tin cans masquerading as phones.
i've heard of reverb - but this is ridiculous
its delay, a way to prevent Shazam programs to block the audio on copyright grounds :(
45 years ago when Disco was king
My left ear is getting lonely
Sounds like I'm in an arena
Sounds like a Tannoy at a racecourse in about 1980!
Still how awesome to see the tightness of The Jam, Paul W only 18 at the time
Poor woman must have been locked in a lavatory when making the program
What is the song at 14:14 please
Fix the sound and the thumbnail- I got a picture of He Who Shall Not Be Named for this one.
Goodness Gracious
Do you think you could upload the TOTP story of 1976?
That’s an unfortunate thumbnail
Sounds like a black and white to of 1977. Given up and back to my digital voice activated to projector.

Saville , glitter , kitty cliff Richards . 1977 Chinese year of the nonse.
unfair and wrong about Cliff, the other two you were bang on.

FACT.
What a gob****e. Not a fan of Rod, Jane and Freddy but no need to do that to anybody.
Car't listen to this unless Eco and the bunny men are on lol.
It has Jimmy saville on it ...delete
So?
And glitter , I can’t believe I’ve had to scroll all the way down to your comment before someone mentioned it.
@@fegstachops6746 How about that then
Was JJ singing Boogie, Bollocks?
Laughing my head off at this dude.Cannot decide if the echo hurts or improves the music.
Did you record this in an aircraft hangar?
23:07 olivia newton-john ❤️💕🤧 and BACCARA 53:15 even it was just short 😚
Australia had "Countdown"
Countdown was better imo. Either live band or official video.
what's happened to the sound? Can't listen to this otherwise great posting.
Testing testing......More echo please...
Bez is modern day Hegarty!😉💚
echo????
WHY!
What’s with all the echo and reverb?

Your going to make me watch the whole thing to find out.
@@AI_Image_Master It's the same band that had the best selling album of the year with 10 weeks at the top.

Eric hall had a show on BBC Essex for awhile.
Echo through out
Here's a version without the echo! ua-cam.com/video/rRvfh0r2CsQ/v-deo.html
What’s with the annoying echo
The sound's fucked.
Was that Denny Laine with the McCartneys at the end?
Of course. He was the third member of Wings
Thanks for that
colin Paterson errrr yeah ... even the most pop simpleton knew Wings consisted of Paul his wife Linda & Denny 🤨😯🤣
Okay, no need to be insulting
Gave up, echo.
The audio sucks!!
Echo...goodness gracious, how about that then...
What about the sex pistols , im sure it was 77 they hit top of the pops
Yep, they were on it with Pretty Vacant.
Better version ... no echo - here ua-cam.com/video/mc8PhGCvo_E/v-deo.html
screws up the sound and thinks it's still watchable.....
A Jones here is a better version hope you enjoy ☺️ ua-cam.com/video/rRvfh0r2CsQ/v-deo.html
@@ThatBondGuy62 Thanks a lot, this is just so horrible to listen to
Recorded badly off the tv
Anyone know name of the number that starts at 33:50?
T-Connection - Do What You Wanna Do.

atrocious sound and hearing Mull of Kintyre again, horrible
Christ almighty, remember when it was no 1 for friggin weeks on end, couldn't get away from it.
To bad it’s in mono!
43:03
The Pistols know´s, that comes the Brexit ?
The audio on this was shit , the ONLY reason I sat through it was I was born in 77
Stephen O Neill my mother was too
Change your VSC on here. It's disgraceful that victims of abuse might see that straight off when scrolling.
Does anyone know what the instrumental track is at 10:37?
Van McCoy the shuffle
@@dlamiss The Hustle
@@dlamiss No you're right. I checked and it is The Shuffle.
Toooooo much echo echo echo echo
Echo echo echo echo
Heard you the first time, time, time, time...
no thanks, don't want to listen to something via a swimming pool !
‘He was in a very odd position in 1977,
Marc Bolan.
In some ways he’s the ghost of pop past. It’s this...weird thing, this guy that simultaneously appears to be slightly washed up....and suddenly vibrant...again’
It's probably not a good idea to use a picture of a child abuser, Jimmy Saville, as your splash screen.
Unfortunate phrasing
Lost the thumbnail ffs 🤮
Ewwww….Jimmy's Sovile….take him off please thank you very much!!!
So?
I don't remember him very much, the other presenters like DLT yes, mainly because Saville's presenting style was becoming a bit cliched by this time and I just ignored it
How about that then
Realy Jimmy Savile
Once you get past the echo, you realise how god-awful this narrator is.
It's Sue Perkins, reading someone else's script.
Unwatchable fin crap
Sounds fine to me...get some decent speakers...Stranglers...love em...
There is massive echo.
echo and th bunnymen?
No, it's echo and the paedoman.
Terrible terrible audio!
