Top of the Pops

The show that invented the music video back in the 1960s -- giving rise to MTV and the phenomenon of creating little films to go with each single on an album -- was given the axe after decades on the air a couple of years ago. But the Christmas special remained, in which the best-selling singles of the year were shown in one go. Then even that was sacked.

It's good to hear the BBC have reversed their decision and the show is back on.

Some wonder whether Simon Cowell's offer to buy the show from the Beeb and put it on ITV had anything to do with it.
