The last ever Top of the Pops went out on Sunday evening, bringing to an end 42 years of pop history.
The music show, which was axed by the BBC after the number of viewers dropped to about 1m, was hosted by former presenters of the programme.
The one-hour special also featured loads of memorable performances from over the last four decades, as well as the final TOTP top 10 run-down.
The show moved from BBC1 to BBC2 in 2005, but the move could not save it.
Before that, in 2003, BBC bosses tried to make the show more popular in a relaunch, calling it All New Top of the Pops, but that didn't work either.
The audience stayed the same at three million viewers, which was less than half the number watching it a decade before.
