Christmas tradition
Fans of the iconic music show, Top of the Pops, are calling for its return after it was axed in 2006. The show, which aired weekly from 1964 until 2006, continued to air a festive episode on Christmas Day until 2022. However, cost-cutting measures led to its cancellation last year, leaving many disappointed.
Clara Amfo's success
Clara Amfo, who presented the 'New Year' special of Top of the Pops, has received widespread praise for her hosting skills. The Review of the Year episode, which aired on Thursday night, was a hit with viewers and has inspired fans to petition for the show's return.
Viewer demands
Many viewers took to social media to express their desire for Top of the Pops to come back in its original format. Some called for Clara Amfo and Fearne Cotton to host the show together, stating that it wouldn't feel like Christmas Day without it. Others suggested that the show should return as a regular series, not just once a year.
Clara Amfo's connection to the show
Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo has a special connection to Top of the Pops, as she has previously been a host on the chart music show. Her return to the show for the yearly Review of the Year episode showcased performances from some of the biggest pop stars of 2023.
As fans continue to express their love for the iconic music show, the BBC may have to consider bringing back Top of the Pops to satisfy the demands of its dedicated audience.
