- * Cut from the Shortened Version
The "Shortened Version" means some bands/singers are not include and as is typical of the BBC Lena Zavaroni is one of the singers cut from the broadcast.
As is also typical of the BBC, the listing page is misleading as it does not inform you that the broadcast of "Top Of The Pops" is cut down.
Not informing your viewers of the true version that is bing boradcasts is deceitful and unjustafiable when we are forced to pay for a licence.
Possibly the last time we got a repeat in full was on the 14 June 2015 at 01:05 based on the broadcast length.
