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