Edith Bowman has said that Top of the Pops shouldn't return.
The BBC radio DJ was one of the presenters of the show from 2003 to 2006, and co-hosted the farewell episode broadcast in July 2006.
Top of the Pops: Why it should return to TV
"I don't think there's a space for Top of the Pops as such, but I do think that broadcasters need to embrace live music a bit better," Edith told Digital Spy.
"Whether that's looking at another type of show that is about a real mix of music - it's not about a specific genre of music.
"Top of the Pops? I don't think it should come back. I think it's very lazy to regenerate something.
"Surely we can be a bit more creative and come up with something new and give it the time and space to grow and build an audience?"
She added: "Sometimes I...

I know: we've had Ibiza Uncovered, The James Whale Show and that one where Rebecca Loos whacked off a pig. But at least those programmes never pretended to be anything but awful. This one claimed to be useful and well-meaning. It was a mugger dressed like a man from the gas board.
Here is the evil genius of Jamie's Dream School. It was perfectly devised to attract sappy, middle-class liberals like me. It was a Channel 4 documentary about education. It had Andrew Motion and Robert Winston in it. It had a biosphere and a scene at the Globe. It promised to help unlucky, underprivileged teenagers...
