Andi Peters' new-look Top Of The Pops was unveiled with a seamless launch show last Friday.

The revamped, All New Top Of The Pops was heralded with an hour-long special which went off without a glitch, despite a power cut which hit BBC TV Centre--where the show is recorded--earlier in the day.

A spokesperson for the show said the blackout affected neither the morning's rehearsals nor the evening's broadcast, which kicked off with a medley by Mis-Teeq at 7pm. The highlights of the shjow included live performances by Will Young, Westlife and Blazdn' Squad.

Industry executives including Universal's Lucian Grainge and Brian Berg, and BPI's Andrew Yeates attended a party immediately before the new-look show, which was hosted by Tim Kash.

A premiere of the promo to Michael Jackson's single was cancelled towards the end of last week because the clip was not finished in time, according to a Sony Music spokesman. Instead, other elements were extended to fill the show out, says a BBC source.

The show was followed by an hour-long special on BBC3, presented by Richard Bacon and Margherita Taylor.

Peters, who says the BBC3 show is a one-off, with the main show also reverting to a 30-minute slot this coming Friday.
