TELEVISION TOPICS Pop's top pair POP FANS WOULDN'T YET TV PRODUCERS CALLED TWO OF For they are responsible for streamlining BBC-1's "Top of the Pops from a 25-minute resume of the current best sellers to a slick, -moving disc programme which has been extended to 45 minutes. The show, which has run more or less without a stop for six years, has been given a new lease of life with the time extension. Viewing figures have Jumped from 10,000,000 to an average 12,500,000 putting it into the BBC's top programme rating and making it THE launching pad for new recordings. Cornish and Dorman are more than pleased with the success of the show's facelift, but amused by the suggestion that they can make or break a new group. "There's been a lot made about this, but We don't GIVE THEM A MEL CORNISH THE MOST POWERFUL feel powerful at all," said 29-years-old Mel Cornish, the younger of the two producers.

a great extent the show's contents are dictated by what's in the charts that week. "With the extension, we can include new groups. But we are only presenting the acts that might not see on television. And to that we do have influence." 4 he Cornish and Dorman are not new boys to the music business. Mr.

Dorfman (41), is the more experienced of the two. He has produced series featuring Georgie Fame, Alan Price, Julie Felix, Bobbie Gentry, Dusty Springfield and Peter Sarstedt. Both worked on "Top of the Pops" before the new format, first was worked introduced, together and as designers on "The Black and White Minstrel Show." Now they act together as joint producers, alternately SECOND GLANCE AND STANLEY DORFMAN MEN IN THE POP taking control of the programme from week to week.

Which is the kind of remark guaranteed tohave you thrown into the nearby Tower if producer James Gilbert had his way. In fact, pube points out, Pete did not use doubles.

It was their own idea and they wanted to carry it out their way. The sequence was shot early on Sunday morning when the Tower Bridge lift mechanism is given a regular test, which meant that the operation had to be shot just right. There was no opportunity for a retake. Pete and Dud were attached to the bridge railing with safety harness of the type worn by window cleaners. It takes about a minute and a half the bridge arms to rise to maximum height.

And there Pete and Dud had to stay, hanging some 120ft. above the Thames for 10 minutes, before the bridge arms began their descent.
