I remember that - my Dad was arguing that it was a girl and I was convinced it was a boy. I totally copied his look and my Dad couldn't work out what was wrong but he knew something was (a girl dressing like a boy who dresses like a girl) it didn't compute.
They kept switching TOTP around and then fiddled with the theme music. If they'd have gone retro back to the old theme tune and started airing TOTP2 on BBC1 at 7 o'clock on a Thursday night people would still be watching it. TOTP2 on satellite has Steve Wright presenting it and it works really well with a mix of old videos and whatever was on TOTP during the week. I suppose that will go too!
