Top Of The Pops is to make a return to the BBC at Christmas. A festive special and a New Year's Eve one-off are both scheduled for broadcast on BBC One and will be presented be Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates. A BBC spokesman said the new incarnation of the legendary show would return "bigger and better" following its cancellation in 2006.

However, the Beeb also revealed that "this does not signal the return of Top of the Pops," and that the programme was "not up for sale".

A celebration will take place at Barney's Beanery on December 8 and will be broadcast live by L.A. radio station KLOS.
