Pet Shop Boys performances surface on TOTP reruns

musicJul 17, 202637245

Vintage Pet Shop Boys clips from the 1980s and 1990s have been surfacing in Top of the Pops reruns and shared episode posts, with users posting performances such as In the Night (1985), Paninaro, West End Girls and the duo's cover of Always on My Mind. Contributors also highlight later-era tracks like Being Boring, Heart, Go West and It's a Sin as part of the broadcasts. Viewers noted multiple TOTP episodes running back-to-back this week and posted links and short commentary, alternating between praise for standout Pet Shop Boys moments and disappointment at repetitive programming described as "insipid." One post resurfaced a Chris Lowe cameo in Neighbours, adding another archival clip into circulation. The reruns are prompting renewed sharing of specific PSB performances and archival clips rather than new material.

Well, thank you all for another two hours of top quality analysis and thoughtful discussion of music from times past. It really is worthy of an academic study I feel. #totp

100%. And now I need to go and have a listen, and then to Losing My Mind for good measure.

It really was. I'd always heard my mom listening to the Willie Nelson version, which was great. But the pet shop version, when it came out a few years later, was such a great re-imagine.

It's her birthday apparently, or so the announcer said.

It would have been my Dads 90summinkth birthday on the 15th too but you don’t see me getting the cine projector out & inflicting him in Tossa de Mar on everyone.

I think she's 80 this week

The BBC has a massive archive of country music and general MOR because that’s all they ever seemed to show or not erase back in the day. I’m convinced that’s why every other BBC4 Friday after TOTP seems to be themed like that.

Did they even have a Bonnie Tyler evening?

I think we can all agree, that was four episodes of #TOTP.

I hated almost every minute of those four repeats of #TOTP. Same time next week, chaps?

And that's your lot from Top of the Pops this week! Next week we're a bit displaced by Prog Rock at the Proms, but that's got to be worth a listen, right? Otherwise, 2000 returns at 9pm next Friday... Catch you later, pop pickers! #totp

Love #TOTP Fridays - a little for the music and the memories, but more for the community of fabulous people it brings together here commenting on it.

The thing that no one ever mentions with Sacrifice/Healing Hands. They'd both been released separately in 1989 and no one bought them! This only got to number one because radio endlessly spammed it and made out it was the country's duty to give Baldy Reg a number one. #totp
