Desc: Top of the Pops: The Story of 1981: Directed by Matt O'Casey. With Mel Giedroyc, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Sheryl Garratt. A look at the Top of the Pops show in 1981 when it embraced 80's 'New Pop' with a new theme tune and titles and, as Legs and Co leave, invite a swathe of club kids and cheerleaders in to create a permanent 80s party atmosphere. Britain is torn between rioting, unemployment and the royal wedding, a mood captured in the Specials' Ghost Town, which the band perform on Top of the Pops, and then promptly split up in their dressing room at Television Centre.
