TOTP 2 is a British television music show broadcast on BBC 2, showing archive footage from the long-running Top of the Pops show, some dating back to the early 1960s. The show is usually hosted by Radio Two DJ Steve Wright, who does not appear in person but provides a voice-over commentary and introduction to each piece.
In 2003 the BBC started to run a daily version of TOTP2 in which celebrities choose their favourite archive performances. These celebrities, typically comedians, have included Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer, Phill Jupitus and Jack Dee. There have also been a number of TOTP 2 specials in which a "greatest hits" show dedicated to one musician or band is put together from both archive and new footage.
In 2004, the incoming controller of BBC2, Roly Keating, announced that the programme is to be "rested".
