Christmas 2015

Special Christmas edition of Top of the Pops 2 including music from Sir Tom Jones, Adele and Pulp, as well as perennial Christmas favourites Wizzard and Slade.

Mark Radcliffe returns with another special Christmas edition of Top of the Pops 2, delivering a smorgasbord of festive delights straight from the BBC vaults.

Trawled from the depths of the BBC archive treasure chest, there are some Christmastide gems to get you in a festive mood this season, including rarely seen footage of Sir Tom Jones frolicking in the snow, a classic Top of the Pops Christmas performance from superstar Adele and Britpop legends Pulp wigging out in Christmas attire to their classic Common People.

And while you wrap your presents and write your cards, enjoy a unique performance from the much-missed Cilla Black.

Plus it wouldn't be TOTP2 Christmas without a smattering of some perennial favourites such as Wizzard, Slade, Wham, Jona Lewie, The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl and the inimitable Shakin' Stevens!

So sit back and enjoy a festive feast of Christmas treats from Top of the Pops of Christmas Past...
