More from Bruno Brookes next week, as the 1995 editions resume; Eternal host the other show.
Vintager editions from 1989 with Simon Mayo and Andy Crane; and 1985 with Mike Read and Steve Wright.
That's from 7pm next Friday on BBC4 and the #TOTP hashtag. Don't think I'll be with you, so have fun.
And whatever you're doing tonight, have a nice night!
Thanks for a fun-filled hour Top of the Poppers.
Not with you next week, as I have prearranged commitments.
But back soon.

And now for someone who *can* sing. The Commodores with a slushy classic.
Even "I just called..." would have sounded good after that. #TOTP
Arthur Mullard is a big old northern bloke who cannot find a tune with the help of a map.
Hylda Baker is a younger woman who might have the notes, but not the timing.
They're clearly performing live, and are so completely hopeless that they miss the second chorus entirely.
The popular legend - put about by Mullard - is that people saw this and stopped buying the record. Not so: it went up from 50 this week to spend three weeks bobbing about just outside the top 20. #TOTP
Legs and Co moved to Herbie Hancock's "Thought it was you".
Sylvester was moving around a disco for "You make me feel (mighty real)" - the video is prose, the song sheer poetry.
The Manhattan Transfer may have nicked The Jam's grey suits. Can see why they were the house band for The Two Ronnies.
Hi-Tension were a large group playing Caribbean-influenced soul. On a hot night like this, it's perfect to groove to.
Just as I'm sure the next record will be. #TOTP
Must have seen this before but I don't remember a thing. Must have been mind bleach at work here #TOTP
#sylvester was a fucking legend. #totp
