Top of the Pops moves to C4

The world's longest-running music show, Top of the Pops, starts on C4 next Saturday.

The 30-minute, mostly live, music show will screen on Saturdays at 6pm, repeating on Thursdays at 7.30pm.

It will run in the same week as it does in Britain.

The first show features performances from the Flaming Lips, HIM, Richard Ashcroft, Goldfrapp, Pet Shop Boys, Jamie Foxx, and more.

Until early this year a local version of Top of the Pops, which incorporated local music and British footage, screened on TV2.

C4 will announce plans for a similar local show later in the year.
