Minipops [SEP] original network
Minipops
Minipops was a television series broadcast in 1983 on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. Designed primarily for younger viewers, it consisted of music performances on a brightly coloured set featuring preteen children singing then-contemporary pop music hits and older classics. The children were usually made to look like the original performers, including clothing and make-up. Controversy over children singing songs that often contained a subtext of adult content (in adult costumes and make-up) led to the show's cancellation after one series.
not intended by the machine's original design. Aphex Twin used the Mini Pops drum machine on his album "Syro", and named its single "minipops 67 [120.2]" after it.
