How is it that Radio 1 can give us such seemingly credible offerings yet the BBC can't create a decent TV counterpart?

Channel 4 is doing it with shows like Transmission and the Album Chart Show (where the performances were at a proper venue as opposed to a studio and were actually live) and Later with Jools Holland is doing a good job of bringing new acts to people's attention.

thats a good point. going down the live performance route may have saved TOTP
