'TopPop' TV show on AVRO ("Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep" or in English: "General Association of Radio Broadcasting") in short: 'TopPop' was the first weekly pop programme on Dutch television that was broadcasted by AVRO from 22 September 1970 to 27 June 1988. Initiator and director of 'TopPop' was Rien van Wijk. The idea for the programme was copied from the British 'Top of the Pops'. This interview with Siouxsie and playback performance of "This Wheel's On Fire" were shot on Tuesday, 13 January 1987 in Amsterdam and broadcasted in the following week, (most probably) on 20 January 1987. The talk turned to Siouxsie's dislocated knee in October 1985, the Banshees style, their ten year anniversary in the music biz, the imminent release of 'THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS' album of covers, the band's future and a bit to Madonna even!
