We, the undersigned, call for the BBC to reconsider the decision to axe TOP OF THE POPS after 42 years.

We believe the decision is short-sighted, as there remains a huge demand for music in the UK from a variety of different genres & from a wide range of listening sources. It is the responsibility of the BBC as a public broadcaster to reflect the demand for popular and new music on it's main television station.

We also call for the programme to be returned to it's rightful home on BBC 1 on a Thursday/Friday Evening (NOT against Coronation Street!)and for the programme to be updated (e.g. featuring Number Ones in a variety of different charts, covering cinema, DVD Rentals, Computer Games, Ringtones etc for each specific week but with the predominant component as music)and the show to be heavily promoted as the best entertainment guide for the weekend!

I agree with Mr. Tennant of Pet Shop Boys. Please bring back this marvellous show on TV.

More losers at the top of the bureaucracy who have no clue what they are doing. All they seem to care about is their jobs! A damn SHAME!

I guess we have some mad human beings who do illogical things - like throwing away institutions with fabulous potential. :(

Top of the Pops, a British institution in the same vein as Doctor Who and Tomorrow's World, should never have been cancelled! There are just some things that should never be changed. When it was moved to Sunday night on BBC2, the BBC lost nearly half of the audience; someone should have lost their job over that decision. The show should be reinstated to it's rightful time-slot on Thursday evening on BBC1.

I would very much like to see the BBC bring back Top of the Pops, they have treated TOTP just the same way that they treated Dr Who, so many of us enjoyed both programmes and yet we had to go 16 years without Dr Who, thankfully now that is finally back. I would very much like to see the BBC bring back Top of the Pops, it is an iconic British programme, the viewing figures of the final episode show how many people are interested in it! For me there is now only 1 programme that I watch on BBC Television, and that is Dr Who, please bring back TOTP and then there will be 2 programmes to look forward to. I feel very sad that the BBC has gone so down hill, this year marks their 70th anniverary since television began at Alexandra Palace, come on BBC Television, be more like you used to be and let us all have those programmes back we enjoy, and please bring back TOTP and keep Dr Who on-air. Also please make all of the surviving 60's episodes and footage available on DVD unedited.

Why? Why? Why? Surely a revamp and rethink is the right answer...
