As the Beeb celebrates its centenary, we take a look at its most memorable pop moments, from the birth of grime to the first sightings of Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, plus TOTP goes Madchester and countless classic Peel sessions

Halfway through playing the pre-planned Hey Joe, Hendrix suddenly announced “We’d like to stop playing this rubbish and dedicate a song to Cream”, who had just split up. Cue a fearsome Sunshine of Your Love as the credits rolled and producers blew gaskets. Hendrix’s insubordination got him banned by the BBC.“We wanted to be a pop band, but provoke people,” recalled Marc Almond. The two impulses never worked so well in tandem as during their first TOTP appearance.

Peel would bestow national treasure status upon Birkenhead’s finest, and this debut session provided an early insight into the brilliant mind of Wirral wordsmith Nigel Blackwell. The Trumpton Riots and All I Want for Christmas Is a Dukla Prague Away Kit remain live staples to this day. Reader, I’m wearing the kit.In this unashamedly earnest performance, Springfield’s delivery is so utterly convincing that you believe she might just die from singledom.

Chris’s memorable Later debut was an onslaught of newness, his cartoonish, highly physical choreography meeting tender songwriting that spoke of feeling like an outsider, and embracing the beauty of difference. Plus, it’s just loads of fun to watch.
