Synopsis

Remember seeing Wham. celebrating a festive No 1 on Top of the Pops in 1984? It never happened - Last Christmas was the biggest-selling record to fail to top the UK charts, as Band Aid's single swept all before it. This documentary is full of snippets like that as it guides us through Top of the Pops's 20th anniversary year, encompassing big hair, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, politically-charged hits such as Free Nelson Mandela and, of course, Do They Know It's Christmas?
