Pet Shop Boys performances surface on TOTP reruns

musicJul 17, 202637263

Vintage Pet Shop Boys clips from the 1980s and 1990s are resurfacing in Top of the Pops reruns and in shared episode threads. Songs and moments being spotlighted include In The Night (1985), Paninaro (Italian Remix), West End Girls, Being Boring, the cover of Always on My Mind, Go West, and It's a Sin, plus a noted Chris Lowe cameo in Neighbours. Viewers cite multiple repeats of TOTP episodes, with several posts referencing four consecutive repeats and specific years such as 1987 and July 1990. Commenters praise individual performances, call out memorable wardrobe and set moments, and reframe particular tracks as soundtrack moments for personal milestones like weddings. Rerun hosts and participants are scheduling ongoing weekly TOTP sessions, with mentions of a Prog Rock at the Proms displacement and a return to 2000-era episodes next Friday at 9pm, keeping the Pet Shop Boys material circulating among nostalgic audiences.

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

The Pet Shop Boys cover of Always on My Mind is so exceptional

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 was her 80th birthday yesterday

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
