The RATM campaign group to prevent the X-factor having another insipid and pointless Christmas No. 1 may have a modicum of a point.
Really though, the campaign should focus on bringing back TOTP permanently. The stubborness of the BBC not to go back to the winner of all winners for viewing figures, family moments and simplicity of production.
TOTP was brilliant.EVERYONE Liked it. It was fun and got people of all ages paying attention to movements in popular culture.
So, the RATM thing was going quite well but predictably into the mid-week it has lost it’s edge and will trail behind dreadfully by Saturday night.
I think a far better plan is to support the festive Stroke of genius and buy Julian Casablancas’ rad Christmas single.
It’s far more seasonally appropriate.
He is not Jesus, although he has the same initials.
