Also this week

Top Of The Pops: The Story of 1997 BBC Two, Saturday, 8.30pm

Revolution was in the air for the long-running music show, both in terms of the music and the show itself. Techno-pop punk rock arrived in the form of Republica and frontwoman Saffron, followed by the likes of Placebo and Chumbawamba. The year also saw the emergence of NY trio Fun Lovin’ Criminals, with their sample-driven tales of city life, and hogging the charts were Danish outfit Aqua. With a new chief, Chris Cowey, in charge of the show, evolution was also in the air during another fascinating year.
