an attempt at watching Pam & Tommy made me realize I'd never distinguished between Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx, at least as far a gossip fodder and rockstar escapades. They were just a singular tall, tattooed, black haired dude married to Pamela Anderson and/or other models.

Ugh, sorry, was typing too fast, yes, you are correct.

Top of the Pops = TOTP = BBC original
TopPop / Toppop = what the Dutch did with the concept
