Mark Radcliffe returns with another Christmas edition of Top of the Pops 2, delivering a feast of festive delights direct from the BBC vaults.
Trawled from the depths of the BBC archive, there are Christmastide gems from Britpop heroes Blur, Chrissie Hynde with The Pretenders, some kilt-clad Bluebells and a demure and festive performance from Katie Melua, not to mention a classic rendition of Baby It's Cold Outside from Welsh compatriots Cerys Matthews and Sir Tom Jones.
Macca also makes a welcome return to the TOTP 2 Christmas celebration and, while you surround yourself with paper, bows and bits of tape, let the inimitable Kurtis Blow provide the soundtrack with his unique take on Christmas rappin'.
Plus perennial yuletide favourites from the likes of Slade, Wham! Roy Wood, East 17 and Mud, and some rarely seen footage from comeback queen Kate Bush. The Jackson 5 and Johnny Mathis also pop up.
