Could Top of the Pops be returning to BBC One?

Top of the Pops may be making a comeback, it has been reported.

The Mirror suggests the popular music show may be scheduled for Fridays, to coincide with the charts moving from Sundays later this year. Dermot O'Leary and Fearne Cotton have been tipped to host.

The BBC has played down the claims, saying at this stage that "there have been constant whispers about Top of the Pops returning - but they are just whispers".

O'Leary's spokesperson did not comment on the reports.

Top of the Pops' final weekly edition aired in 2006, although the BBC has broadcast numerous seasonal specials since then.

Cotton, who recently announced her departure from BBC Radio 1, was one of the last regular presenters of the original programme.

Thanks to a boom in downloads, there is a renewed interest in the Official Charts, which have long included sales from downloads - and have more recently started to incorporate streaming data.

Bringing Dermot O'Leary in as a host after his X Factor departure would certainly get headlines - but what do you think? Would you like to see Top of the Pops back on our screens again?

I don't think I even knew it had gone. :clown: :clown: :clown:
Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
