Top of the Pops Specials The Story of 1988 2019
1988. TOTP celebrates its silver jubilee & brings the show to a younger audience with lively new presenters – Anthea Turner, Nicky Campbell et al. Charts are full of sparkling box-fresh pop stars, from tweenage heartthrobs Bros to the boy & girl we shared weekday teatimes with, our favourite Neighbours, Kylie & Jason. Stock, Aitken & Waterman reached their peak with wall-to-wall hits. In contrast to the wholesome hosts, Transvision Vamp put the grrr into girl, & those Wee Papa Girl Rappers give great dance hall ragga in a British spin on hip-hop. While pop reached a new purple phase, older kids were out at Acid House parties, buying records that sent S'Express & Yazz with Cold Cut to #1, much to the bemusement & then alarm of the adults.
