and move they can,very well. lulu gets a bit out of step around the middle of the set but she is quick and hides it well,lulu was a teenager in this video clip, only 17 she was i think.

[midnightcowgirl7272]

really,more meet on a butchers pencil,or is it that most young people today are FAT.

[Cytacon]

@midnightcowgirl7272 They were obviously healthy.. If they weren't they wouldn't be able to move like that.

[sidewaysid]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yes

[zenodotus]

A much simpler happier time - but then again nostalgia isn't what it used to be..

[davidhaythornthwaite]

[skypilot722]

Cherry, you are soooooo gorgeous; yep, I LOOOOVE YOUUUU.

This would be a while before Legs & Co were formed. TOTP viewers were invited to mame the new group much later in the year: Please see my post 'Naming Legs & Co..' from October 1976.

Ruth went on to manage 'Legs' though (as far as I'm aware) never danced with them. Lulu was very young, possibly only 16 here.

The epitome of Cool ( I DONT think !), 'Diddy' David Hamilton snapping his fingers into the groove

A life long long of girls trying to be 'perfect' and killing themselves. you go, yeah! for the team.. but which one???

[TheCandaceH]

It was when, life wasn't crazy.

[looselywired]

Wow! Such great times! These great ladies would not be aloud to dance around on our screens these days due to the PC brigade...pity as so many watched them for just their dance moves, hair and campness!!!!!!!

[uksfinest63]

why is there only 3 of them when there used to be 5 or 6  ?? and david hamilton did a few TOTPs presenting

[ColumRogers]

One of the grooviest songs ever written. God i miss TOTP.

[Ampex196]

For the life of me I can't recall David Hamilton presenting TOTP.

I do remember working with Legs & Co. though (who wouldn't?)! Im not quite ready for my bathchair yet - lol!

[TheKenfig]

@Ampex196 I can, worse luck ! ; he had the afternoon show daily on Radio 1 at the time until they moved him to Radio 2 in late '77. He did a few 'Pops' in about '75 / 76

[taxifullofgiblets]

[eliotkid1]

Where can I get candles that big ?

[Nosmos]

Love how that last line stretches out, And What's Wrong With Thaaaaaaaaat!....

[mickeytipp]

This is part of Ruby Flipper, the dance troupe immediately before Legs & Co. Cherry (in blue) had previously been with Pan's People. After Ruby Flipper was disbanded in May '76, Lulu (in green) and Patti (in red) went on with Sue Menhenick (not shown here but who was another ex-Pan's People/Ruby Flipper member) to form part of Legs & Co who debuted in October '76.

[Ampex196]

mickeytipp

You are absolutely right!

Former Pan's dancer Ruth Pearson went on to manage Legs & Co; (Sue, Lulu, Patti, Rosie, Pauline & Gill). They were very successful.

[mickeytipp]

Correct there Ampex196, Ruth co-managed Legs & Co with ex Pan's founding member Flick Colby who in her own right went on to manage Legs & Co's successors, Zoo (the final dance troupe on TOTP from Oct 81 - Jan 84.

[DaithiDublin]

@mickeytipp Whatever happened to Cherry after this?

[skypilot722]

@DaithiDublin actually, I'm not sure of the time line but Cherry appeared briefly in the James Bond film, "Octopussy," as Midge.
