NOTES (9)
ADD NOTES-
Sir Jimmy Savile is invited back for a quick interview in which he claims to be wearing the suit he wore on the show when it first changed to colour (the suit was probably enough to make people change back to Black-and-white!). He's also asked to do the link into the U2 performance. This is Sir Jimmy's first appearance on the show since New Years Eve 1988.
-
Zoë Ball makes a one-off come-back appearance. Her last appearance was Christmas Day 1997.

This is Natalie Imbruglia's first appearance on Top of the Pops since October 1998. In this edition she also performs as backing vocalist for U2.
