For some of us, it was a sad televisual weekend - farewell to the Bartlet years and the end of our youth (?) [otherwise known as Top of the Pops]. But how was it for you?
Clearly a goodly number of you cared about the demise of Top of the Pops. Last night's final episode drew four million viewers - four times its usual audience.
While it was clearly a major media moment, the show didn't really feel like it captured the emotion of the event. For me they chose the wrong Adam and the Ants clip (should've been Dog Eat Dog instead of Antmusic). And the second show, at 10pm, was a major disappointment, including many of the same clips as the 7pm show. Could the BBC not have spent a bit more time trawling the enormous TOTP archives?
Watching Top of the Pops for the first time in several years, I suddenly realised how it was that my Mum kept in touch with my music when I was growing up. How will I know what my kids are listening to when they grow up?
And on Friday we said goodbye to the West Wing - watched by a mere 250,000 - which means most of you read this website!
In my WW community emotions were mixed. There were complaints that Toby had not figured enough. Or Josh. I cried 4 times over the 2 hours - and only one of those related to the fact that I am a member of the Busfield clan (although no relation to Timothy).
How was it for you?
