Top of the Pops@Play
Top of the Pops@play (TOTP@play), is a music television programme, that was broadcast on UKTV-owned digital youth entertainment television channel, Play UK. The programme ran daily on weekday afternoons from October 2000 until 2001. It was a spin-off of the long-running BBC music programme, "Top of the Pops", and was one of several Play UK programmes to utilise the "TOTP" brand. These programmes were able to use the BBC-owned "TOTP" brand commercially as BBC Worldwide, the BBC's commercial arm, held (and still holds) a 50% stake in the UKTV group of  channels. BBC Worldwide also publishes the TOTP magazine. The programme was broadcast for three hours each weekday afternoon as a live music and entertainment magazine programme, featuring interviews with celebrities, interactive phone-in elements (such as music video requests), competitions, and magazine features. It was similar in style to the rival programme MTV Select, which aired in a similar afternoon timeslot on MTV UK & Ireland. "TOTP@play" utilised a number of presenters during its run, including Josie d'Arby, Vernon Kay, Joe Mace and Dermot O'Leary.
