SCARBOROUGH'S favourite DJ Sir Jimmy Savile is delighted at the return of Top of the Pops this Christmas.

The veteran presenter hosted the first ever show on January 1 1964 and made a special appearance on what was thought to be the last ever TOTP in June 2006.

Now the BBC has confirmed there will be two special one-off shows on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.

They will be hosted by Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates, but Sir Jim is keeping his fingers crossed he could make a special guest appearance.
He said: "I think it's marvellous – Top of the Pops is what we need to brighten the world up. The prospect of it coming back is really something.

"Pop music sells dreams – girls love pop records because they mirror their love-lives and boys always dream about playing the guitar in a group."

All you Fixit fans with your cowardly "Comment Reported Unsuitable By User" stuff, you are saying more about the layer of sycopohancy round this sad old publicity-seeker than any comment of mine ever could.
