As BBC Four's TOTP repeats move into 1983, a golden year in British pop, a compilation of some of the biggest hits of the year featuring soul, reggae, jazz, new wave and pop. The big hits are delivered by Wham!, KC and the Sunshine Band, The Police, Culture Club, Siouxsie and The Banshees, UB40, Duran Duran, The Beat and Bananarama amongst others. Big ballads are performed by Elton John and Bonnie Tyler, while Malcolm McLaren's Double Dutch completes the very best of '83.

It's 1983, and Top of the Pops reaches a landmark - its 1,000th edition. A time to celebrate, perhaps, but there are signs that the show is going through something of a mid-life crisis. The aristocracy of British New Pop are in the ascendant - Culture Club, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Wham! - but the rise of the video starts to threaten the show's unique appeal, which is based on getting the top artists into the studio. So producer Michael Hurll tries out new features including the first regular female presenter and the Top Ten Video Countdown. In the year that Margaret Thatcher is re-elected with a landslide majority, the mood in the charts is escapism. But 1983 is also a year of musical reinvention. Alongside the rise of indie bands like New Order, and a memorable first appearance of The Smiths with Morrissey swinging his gladioli, other acts who've inhabited the backwaters for years now fine-tune their image and enter the mainstream in a bid for chart success.

As we say goodbye to 2016 and hello to 2017, presenters Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates get the New Year's Eve party started with the biggest and best songs of the year, and they round up the celebrations with the last number one of 2016. Including performances from former Rudimental vocalist and now successful solo artist in her own right Anne-Marie, singer-songwriter Tom Odell, Dua Lipa, indie pop band Blossoms, Craig David, DJs Kideko and George Kwali with rising grime star Nadia Rose and reggae legend Sweetie Irie, James Arthur, DJ Alan Walker, Zara Larsson, former The Wanted lead vocalist Nathan Sykes and classically trained electro pop hit maker Jonas Blue with up-and-coming singer JP Cooper, To wrap up the party, electronic number one hit machines Clean Bandit are joined by X Factor 2015 winner Louisa Johnson to perform their huge 2016 track Tears.
