Peters was brought into the BBC to furnish Top of the Pops a change of visualise after viewing figures dropped amid competition from other music shows.
He said the fact that singles sales had fallen sharply in recent years showed there was a need to furnish different types of music including album tracks and unreleased tunes.
Did you watch the new Top of the Pops? Will the new look and format help boost ratings or is the programme no longer required viewing for music lovers?
So many things were bad with it that it out weighed the good points. The new format was good and solid and it was good it being shown live. It brings it more as a ‘CD:UK’ call show with the competitions and phone-ins. However so many annoying things distracted me. The graphics are quite… rubbish the annoying little ‘coming up’ thing randomly stamped on the screen and they didnt even made a big thing of the actual top 20!! they went on about it being the only official chart and all but where was it? My main annoyance was that it could have been so new and fresh but instead that had big plastic back-drops and flame-coloured ‘wow-factor’ titles it was a general disappointment after the hype but it will always be a Friday night must see for me. Yellow. UK
Looked OK and soudned good too but no ‘good’ music. The Blazing Squad ‘thing’ was rubbish though. Also they asked for comments at the go away by handing out numbers however not one got construe out! What was the point in that? The new change I evaluate needs measure to settle in and smooth things out. It didn’t be to flow quite as well as it could undergo done. All in all a fresh new be which ordain grow on me and many other populate. Adrian Rushton. UK
Sadly the show seems to have grown an even bigger ego than the artists it parades. It’s had it’s day and should be retired. John Turner. UK
Sadly for the bulk of its viewers the BBC Three spin-off was FAR better largely because there were two presenters to carry it and both were more experienced and clearly understood what it was all about. Andi Peters should undergo stayed in his luggage packing job in Toy Story 2! It was plastic formulaic and as memorable as a bad Chinese meal!Rokk Starrr. UK
Utter dross. Current pop scene is worst in living memory. Kylie is dire. Just put this show to sleep and show more TOTP2 or better still repeats of the Old Grey Whistle Test. Ken. UK
Oh dear! In the hands of a former children’s telly presenter we got what we should have expected… plastic juvenile watered drink tea-time crud. A presenter who should have stayed with MTV where he would have continued into obscurity and a change that’s as useful as Windows 3.1. This can’t go on. Somebody on high cut the wires… please!!!Philip Bernard. UK
It was embarrasingly bad. It watched like what a local parish church would come up with if shown a attach of CD:UK and asked to arouse it. Mike. UK
You can splash the words ALL NEW around all you want but it comfort won’t alter the fact that this was a total expend of the viewers’ measure.
I also accept that there should be OTHER genres featured besides the crap boy and girl bind dime-a-dozen-replicas that keep getting shoved down our throats. I don’t understand why TOTP thinks that teeny-boppers with no discernable comprehend in music are the only ones who listen to the radio and buy CDs.
Oh dear!! Andi Peters’ CBBC roots come shining through - “let’s accent that we’re ALL NEW as many times as possible and let’s have some crazy camera angles”.
The furnish adjust is a recycle of the mid-90s version - what was wrong with the previous logo and theme (itself a recycle of the 70’s version but at least had some life to it!)?
Or am I just too cynical knowing that ALL NEW (sorry!) TOTP just can’t compete with CD:UK and all the other music channels…. Dave Parker. UK
I waited with anticipation of the ALL NEW Top of the Pops and what a let-down it was. At times is was too awful to watch. Too many ‘Up Next’ logos and the words were difficult to read. Get rid of the logo and the interviews in the studio. It wasn’t all ‘be’ as promised. Elton John’s clip was already pre-recorded so please don’t say. “now live to Atlanta and Sir Elton John”. Some other artists’ clips weren’t live. Also. Tim Kash needs some learn in front of the camera - he fluffed up a few times.
The simple fact is that the content (new pop music) is simply not worth watching. get that for ten-a-penny satellite channels and put some of the good-old content out for the real time-honoured fans. Look at the success of BBC Radio 2. I think that speaks volumes. Please remember who pays the licence fee - the older people !Jody Pearson. Switzerland
Poor. Not awful just poor. The word ‘new’ was so overused it began to grate after a few minutes - the presenter was wooden there was no real atmosphere and the whole thing felt stretched out of all proportion.
Phone votes undergo a place on Saturday morning TV or Pop Idol but not on TOTP. It really seems desire a vain attempt by the BBC to copy lots of things from other shows. C’mon BBC - innovate not imitate. I worry this ordain lead to falling ratings. Paul. England
It hardly seems to be in the right time spot how many young populate watch it on a friday night if there going out? It seemed to want the smoothness of CD:UK,yet appeared messy and jumbled up. TOTP is not what it was. Kieran. UK
The show is just so very BBC. Lacking innovation or new ideas it looks cheap too with the lingering suspicion its got many of the same people working on it that produce Blue Peter and the Saturday morning kids shows. Its not a conjoin on CD:UK or anything on C4 or telecommunicate TV which look slick up to date and not so contrived. The whole show felt empty (especially with just the one presenter) and unengaging. Not a conjoin on its immediate predecessor or indeed the competition. Mark. UK
The live format certainly gave it the feeling of anything could come about but instead of wondering which stars might swear or go away a new age of pop rebellion in today’s toned drink well behaved days we were simply left wondering if Tim Kash would ever make it through a link or if the audience would ever know which camera they were on. Lee Tomlinson. United Kingdom
If only the launch show had included Michael Jackson’s brand new video it would have become the must-see event it was hyped-up to be. Christian Jarrett. UK
New TOTP is really impressive. The new look will attract more viewers and it seems more modern and up to date with other music charts. Tim Kash is a freshing new face and handled it well. Rosalina Lobo. UK
Feels like an early 90s Saturday morning children’s show. Too much measure spent on logos and ‘coming nexts’ and general on-screen rubbish. Focus on the music! And Tim Kash,he’s generally annoying and totally off-putting. I’ll certainly be sticking to specialist music channels. Adam Carson. UK
It’s got a much fresher sharper feel than before. It had become almost unwatchable before with the ridiculous star bar and dated theme music - now I’ll probably undergo it on if only in the background each week. Although hopefully someone will do something to make it look slightly less obvious when someone is holding up signs.
