Def Leppard 1994. Def Leppard 1994

Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott presented iconic music show Top Of The Pops in 1994 and it will be repeated soon on BBC Four.

Joe appeared on Top Of The Pops in January 1994.

He was a guest presenter alongside regular host Tony Dortie during his promo tour for the 'Action' single and 'Retro-Active' album.

Joe is seen wearing a Sheffield United T-Shirt, sunglasses and a backwards baseball cap as he and Tony introduced various performances and videos.

One of the videos introduced is the 'Action' promo itself as the song was a new entry at Number 22 in the Top 40 chart during this week.

The show is broadcast again for the first time since 20th January 1994 on BBC Four TV on Friday 20th January at 7pm and then repeated at 2:15am on Saturday 21st January.

Footage from this episode was uploaded to YouTube some years ago (see screenshots) but not in very high quality.

As mentioned already a Top Of The Pops 30th anniversary special also from January 1994 is repeated tonight on BBC Four at 7pm and will include clips of the 1992 'Let's Get Rocked' performance and 'Animal' video.
