After 42 years the show that helped many of us discover the magesty of Jas Mann and his Babylon Zoo has been cancelled!! It was required viewing for myself back in the day but unfortunatly it lost it's way and lost it's viewers! wink.gif

If TOTP wasn't shit i might watch it. I mean, whats the point of having a random totp performance from years ago being broadcast if you can't even be fucked to play the whole thing. Pisses me off.

Maybe I'll find on the way down the line, that I'm free... free to be me ;)

TOTP2 is on UKTV:G2 every day. They advertised an episode with Babylon Zoo on not long back so I watched it... and what do you know... there was no sign!! Gaaah!

But yeah TOTP2 was much better, they showed some interesting stuff from the vaults.
