I work at the BBC and I was lucky enough to attend the studio recording of Top Of The Pops last night. Morrissey will be on next Friday singing Irish Blood...

It was an interesting night - most of the 14-year-old audience didn't have a clue who Mozzer was, and it was up to about ten of us in the studio to get to the front (after standing through two hours of proper dirge like Will Young, Frankie and some Norweigan Flop Idol bloke who looked like a troll) and make as much noise as possible to show the great man and the band that they weren't floundering in a sea of teeny-bopper hell...

Moz looked completely bored beforehand, but was the utmost professional. They all looked amazing though - all the band had Jobriath T-shirts on, with black trousers and braces - proper scary, dead hard and they were all shooting evil looks into the cameras - classic!

To be honest, I couldn't quite believe he was standing there bang smack in front of me. If you'd told me ten years ago that I would be in the audience at Top Of The Pops and Morrissey would be performing, I'd have laughed in your face. So all in all, a bit of a surreal evening...

    About time someone injected some lifeblood into that show. I'm sure the kiddies were bored/freaked by Moz, but he's just what they need. He may be middle-aged, but he's got more spark and creativity than any of the factory-made teen bands they crank out these days.

    I know they'll never know it, but Morrissey even with a belly is worth more than most "artists" I can think of. He's been on the pops for 20 years now. TOTP may be dead, but I'm sure glad he's still with us!

  • it will be good to see him on TOTP. But what a horrible set design they have. it looks as if its been made by fischer price. and that atrocious presenter they have makes me not want to pay my licence fee (oh, wait a minute, I don't.)
