 While previous dance troupes appeared almost every week on "TOTP" since the early 1970s, the troupe did not appear on the edition broadcast on 27 November 1981, and throughout 1982 it was common for Zoo to appear only once a month on "TOTP" as the show chose to broadcast a band or artist's video if they were unable to commit to a studio appearance.As 1982 drew to a close and 1983 began, Zoo's appearances became less frequent - no credited routines were featured from 30 December 1982 to 24 February 1983.Zoo's last credited routine for "TOTP" was shown on 29 September 1983.
