Pop Master Comes To Television

Amiable Ken Bruce is bringing his much loved iconic quiz is coming to television. Good news for fans - but I wouldn't be surprised if the BBC is kicking itself.

Wonderful. Well done Ken. That'll show them!!

Yay

Crikey! I typed a bit of a garbled OP there - that's what comes of deciding to change the original - but never mind. You get my drift.

[MissTerious2]

I never noticed Naomi but then I do it all the time!!

[Zacs-Master]

Interesting.

I only ever get the sixties ones right! One thing that I can say though is I never knew what Ken Bruce looked like till I clicked on the link!

A 6 part series, so not a daily thing like on the radio.

[hellywelly4]

I’ll look forward to that, although I can only answer a few and they’re usually from the 60s.

[MissTerious2]

I can get 60s and 70s and very little more. I get a few 90s

Hubris, Naomi. According to Ken they were slow in offering him a new contract and he thought about what he'd like to do and Greatest Hits Radio came along and sorted out a deal. Then the BBC said "But we were going to offer you a contract". Too late. More arrogance from Auntie.

I loved Ken Bruce but the only bit of his show that I always had to turn off was the dreaded Popmaster bit. I absolutely hated it!

The BBC has long and inglorious form in taking its talent for granted, and losing said talent in the process.

Thanks to its bizarre notion of chasing a 'younger' audience, the baffling reasons for which remain known only to the mass of overpaid and under-talented suits that stalk its marble halls, the drain of talent will continue.

Absence of accountability only ever leads to increasingly poor decisions. It's time the BBC was made to justify its subsidies far more rigorously than it has to now.
