Pans People - Top of the pops 1973

[BalaclavaReturns]

What a stupid dance.

[belltopcone]

Ruthie I`ve loved you from the very first and I still do xx

[grobby2]

Angry pointers

[TopOfThePopsFan]

Was this really 40 years ago??

[mrcrymnd]

8 people have never danced in heels.

[3flick3]

helltopay1 lol!

[helltopay1]

First one to spot a camel toe gets a blue peter badge.

[Tannz0rz]

They've got excellent pointing skills.

[MrDjc1970]

wow..no cellulite, botox, liposuction, fake breasts and all that shite. just NATURAL SEXY WOMEN....CORRRRRRRRRRRR

[electrogeek77]

@MrDjc1970 Um, actually, cellulite IS natural.

[J4K31]

WHY DID THEY GET RID OF THIS SHOW!?!

it was great keeping up with the charts every week. although saying that, most chart music at the moment is a load of shite

[Yakovlievich]

Far more tasteful than the syphilus ridden filth of today.

[motney555]

Sitting here wearing my tank top and flares just to get the full effect- brilliant! no dad dancing though in case my gold medallion knocks my false teeth out.

[doh1959]

id rather watch diversity how fukin far has dancing come on but id rather have pans people sit on me face than diversity

[empanzee]

They are all so much thinner than most women of today!! Watch this and then take a look around you!

People(women especially) were just thinner then, and had narrower frames.

Clothes were made smaller too, just look at most vintage clothing and you can see.

[geoffdoor]

YOU COULD CUM ON ALL OF THEM

[planetrockford]

@geoffdoor All but one, that would be sick otherwise.

[peaceman1234567]

Fookin hated it that year i was badly bullied as a schoolkid,still horrible even 38 years later.

[Tony07UK]

@peaceman1234567 Sorry to hear that ... some schools obviously ignored the problem rather than sorting out the disruptive kids.

[MrWdrummond]

back then in the best decade ever, me and my mate's always ended up watching the beautiful pan's people watching with our family with the cushons from the couch hiding our teenage hardons.

[28Zeppelin]

We don't even have TOTP anymore that's how bad things are getting! Bring back Top of The Pops. And bring back Pans People!! I'm sure theres five or so out of work dancer girls out there that could do with a job!?

[minutecreations]

Don't you just love those 70's?

[teebee1984]

When women were women and teenage boys were VERY grateful! :)

[stevecowdry]

Cherry for me! 

[jaxxstraw]

This was all we had for porn back in those days. Kids today, you don't know how lucky you are. Really you don't.

Mind you, Dee Dee and Babs. Hubba hubba.

[CplPike]

@jaxxstraw You are so right my friend, but in a weird way it was better!

[STEPASAUR]

is that Wellington gettin an eyeful? dirty Womble!

[Johnoco66]

@STEPASAUR A definite LOL there mate.

[esharp13]

@STEPASAUR Looks like Orinoco to me;)

[EricandDish]

I need to get this song on iTunes. Along with some of the other 70's songs I need (ROCK THE BOAT, all the Firefall songs, etc.).

[OLaverty111]

Pans People were Brilliant Danced on Top of the Pops everyweek to a new Hit record.. They were the Biz in those EARLY 70's Days on the Tube...

[OLaverty111]

Pans People were Brilliant Danced on Top of the Pops everyweek to a new Hit record.. They were the Biz in those EARL 70's Days on the Tube...

[noproblem53]

brilliant dancers shame about the shit music they were puppeted to!

[GuanoLad]

Terrible choreography. Hot, though.

[hufclufc]

This was the closest i got to porn as as an 11 year old in 1973. I'm going back under the bedshheets..................

[OLaverty111]

@hufclufc Oh Bless! xxxx

[summerdaez]

they have the skills to pay the bills ,, right on ,,, do you want to dance , do you want to dance???!?!?!

[ziggycat999]

Totally uninterested females in the audiience.

[quarthex1]

The females may be uninterested but the womble is enjoying it. LOL.

[KILLAZXP300]

ID SHAG ALL OF THEM

[stargate669]

@KILLAZXP300 dude your wife says to leave the dog alone it needs a bone but not the one you keep giving the poor thing.

[williamkanegateshead]

Ruth, Ruth, Ruth, oh Ruth!

[colfair]

@williamkanegateshead oh yesss, me too!!!

[viceroy30]

love pans people,i wonder if they ever watch themselves on youtube and read comments,if so I LOVE YOU ALL !.

[sosadman1]

"Beautiful Babs... I don't know what her name is" Ronnie Barker 1974 :-)

[CNicol40]

Apparently the "Women's Liberation" movement hated "Pans People".

Personally I'm all for "Women's Lib" ,....... just so long as my dinner is waiting for me on the table when I get home ;-)

[krakenwave]

Aww they look like pussycats pawing the air for a piece of string

[marky2112]

I like the fat one.

[falchion49]

There's a womble in te audience.

[MaidofKent1965]

@falchion49 I think it's Orinoco!

[pattayalob]

Cherry Gillespie, same as Spinal Tap's amps, I'd give her eleven.

[lar100]

Ruth is in yellow, the girl in green is Louise...

[lkijju]

God, they were hot, especially Ruth, the one in green.

[TheFridgechucker]

they must have rehearsed all of 10 minutes for this...and the one in pink is weird

[laceup1967]

Wow. Skanks dancing to the music of a child pornographer. Does TV get any better?

[17REM]

@laceup1967 PMSL

Exactly right.

[roscoebank]

@laceup1967 Barry Blue is not a child pornographer - think you mean Gary Glitter.

[duxberry1958]

o dear pans people they were hot stuff

[Pookatube]

They Need to get a new version of Pan's People!!!!

[Lytton333]

They look rather absurd in those shoes.. clumsy..

[Urko2005]

@Lytton333 Look back at todays stuff in 30 years ;)

[Lytton333]

@Urko2005 Yes, you've got a point there.. every age has its absurdities I suppose..

[Anopholes1]

bloody good dancers - such fun times!

[bondsee]

i'd shag em all at once !!!!!

[maxlogica]

It was quite literally a 'toss' up between Pans people and the Nolan sisters....

[BiffaBacon]

That's what a women should look like !!!

[melodymaker65]

1973.....Camel toe Era.....LOL

[locomotive1804]

Tony Blackburn - doesn't he look young! Btw, as I always said when PP were wearing skimpy clothing - material shortage at the BBC wardrobe!

[pattayalob]

@locomotive1804 yes I agree, they should have covered themselves up more, disgusting, displaying their beautiful, sexy bodies.

[brzville]

I was 15 in this year, Use to watch this on thursday nights, then go to the Youth Disco try and Pull a pans people, Robert powell got married to Babs ( Blond One) I Seen Jesus of Nazereth in a different Light, Should of renamed it, Dirty Lucky Bastard on a Cross

[happychappy12]

I hate kids!!......they always leave nasty comments...ha ha (not enough sugar in the sugar bowl?)

[BlackDiceRoll13]

Damn, they look retarded. Would fuck each one of them though.

[britelite2657]

no they are not people they are robots coz i heard my dad say he would like to screw the asses offa dem

[sidthesquid74]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[boomerhgt]

@britelite2657 Ha Ha

[locomotive1804]

Hmmm... material shortage at the BBC wardrobe again...

[ash1286]

They are not people they are godessess

[jnmklo9]

Never until Gaga!

[Sledge101]

Ah, the plank of wood that was Tony Blackburn. Anyway, Pan's People, Caroline Munroe, Debbie Harry and Kate Bush are the reason I'm straight, no question. When have women been sexier than in the 60s and 70s??

[NatalieJUK]

Stunning precision in every move - you can see a direct line from this to acts like Diversity and Flawless.

[monn321]

Beautiful Babs. Can't remember her name though.......

(Ronnie Barker)

[kourilo1]

first, the dancing girls are really marvelous; second - the music is just nowadays and third - Tony Blackburn was born just lucky because of his voice and charismatics.

[bondbug73]

My Bond Bug was registered during this month!

There's a Womble in the audience!

[evanswho]

Which one?

[wayneschlaegal]

@evanswho

all of them are gorgeous!

[CrazyDaisy1497]

my drama teacher is one of them loll ! :L XD

[madmucker1]

Just beautiful.Women who look like women.

[alacourtnjohnvroom]

[Glenn1967ful]

TOTP attracted 14 million viewers in those days, 10 million were men watching Pan's People.

[TheOctastar]

Haha .. Awesome ! I was 11 yrs old when they did this ... they ROCKED and were HOTT

[polut11]

Just blown my load

[hunsworthbantam]

proper women - something to grab hold of, hug and squeeze without feeling bones ;-)

[bornonafarm]

thick thighs ? no they were women dancing not todays stick insect models

[UtahMike41]

@bornonafarm

no kidding. the kate moss skeleton look is disgusting. i like bodies like mariah carey's...something to hold onto...

[boomerhgt]

@UtahMike41 Well said more to get hold off ha ha

[Urko2005]

@bornonafarm well said

[Meadoway40]

@bornonafarm Yea, thick thighs and hairy bushes are ok by me.

[msedgarkelly]

Ruth = the best Pan! And she is still lovely, have you seen their complan commercial??

[cheekychihuahuahua]

Glad I'm not the only one who had the hots for Ruth ;)

[ELuhn]

Nice outfits. Shit song.

[cheefelder]

Song? There was a song? :-)

[derbbus]

Go, go camel toe.

[Neptuneman07]

Hey, what is my ex-girlfriend doin' in the group?

[assfuckedme]

Two of the girls look vaguely familiar from a series of 1970's vintage Dutch Porn I've been jerking off to.

[ColumRogers]

That song is so groovy i've got it on my mp3. I wasn't even alive in 1973 plus Pans People were gorgeous.

[evanswho]

Nice!!!!

[MrBennyHinnAgain]

Marks out of 10? I'd give them one!!!!

[iainmcgeachy]

No man, Ruth (in yellow) definitely the fittest...

[matelot95]

Ruth was always my favourite

[vicsmith5000]

Babs (the blond one) was the fittest of them all.

[kiwkee]

oh I do so wanna ... (oh yeah dance is good too)

[clive3262]

I always wanted them for christmas.

[imsene]

geile strumpfhosenpussys ,sie wackelso geil mit ihren nylonbestrumpften arsch

[scotpens]

I'm a Yank who has just discovered Pan's People, and man, those girls were hot! We didn't have anything like them on American TV until Solid Gold in the 1980s. And while the Solid Gold Dancers may have been a couple of notches higher in technical skill, I'd definitely say the Pan's babes were better looking. IMHO.

[motney555]

@scotpens

Yep they were 40 odd years on and I'm still watching! ha ha their amateurism by todays standard makes them so superior.

Dee Dee is still a babe

[devoxtc]

now they are WOMEN!

the music's okay too

[Glat64]

PHWOOOOOOR!!!!!!!

[BRADD500]

Cherrie was fit

(perfect)

[jiffcat]

funny place to put your mirkin

[hootersnooter]

Tony Blackburn...what a prat, Pans People BRILLIANT

[krakenwave]

Unfortunately the choreography has them doing the same arm actions as my dog uses to scrape at the back door when he wants in. Not Flick Colby's finest hour - but they still look great.

[Georgia275]

Uclrichard - to get a job in modelling agencies these days, you'd need to starve yourself. Not a good idea.

[winkissyear]

nice chicks

[thestevo36]

pans people were real sexy dancers dancing to real glam rock music,not like the throwaway music of today

[Freccia59]

oh myyyyyyyyyyyy, i loved that song .

ty , to put it on. :)

[lilsearson]

AT least women looked like women then not like nowadays!

[UKSazzy67]

Excuse me, I may be 41 years old but I have a proper woman's curvy figure and a sweet and innocent round face, We are not all stick insects or fake plastic babes!

[Ruthlessdud]

The only time my Dad put the paper down and watched TOTP..!

[lulahbelle]

Oh my this makes me miss Pan's People, even though they were before I was born...lol

I love how there is one girl so transfixed by the camera that she's out of time.

Also the music is win.

[grimobo]

omg, these take me back. 1966, Balliol College, the common room would come to a halt when cherry et co came on. i gather the same went for the donnish top table.

[uclrichard]

what an awful song! sounds like gary glitter and mud doing a charity single...horrible...

women had bigger bums in those days...with flab hanging over their pants..

[carriebuk]

If you do think these girls are fat you need your eyes testing m8

[uclrichard]

my eyesight is ok - but they look like slappers with overhanging tits and bums...to me...they wouldn't get jobs in modelling agencies these days - thank god.

[cleveroonie]

they were not slappers Richard just sexy girls

[FaerieCrone]

These days, girls are either starved or fake. Welcome to the real world - this is what a woman should really look like. Get a clue.

[uclrichard]

i was taking the mickey! people can do what they like....these days people shave their pubes and remodel their tits and bums...in the 70s they prefered the 'natural look'...big bums and saggy tits...hey! that's fine by me dad!!

but i prefer kate moss. bet you wouldn't say no?LOL!!!

[FaerieCrone]

Actually, I would because I'm a woman, SON.

[uclrichard]

better than watching george osbourne...marginally.

[4beatlefans]

They weren't like that when I was at school!

[39RatRodCoupe]

Hey hippy get a hair cut you look like a fag and GG where do we start.

[mutinyonthekitkat]

Isn't camel toe a disease?

[scotpens]

I thought it was a plant.

[eyeflow9]

all of em are rockin saggy titties nowadays

[PIGSICK1]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I am very beholden to my childhood Pans People memories. They never grow old.

[worcesterwombat]

nice thighs hair boobs bum legs

[MrKipps1]

Cherry's best ... green one is nice too.

It seems the audience didn't wanna dance!

[LeoBullterrier]

You sicko for looking.

[pattayalob]

you have the same taste in women as me - she was so beautiful and such a sexy dancer, where is she now - I would love to know.....

[LeoBullterrier]

Camel Toe

[pattayalob]

I cannot see the camel toe, I can imagine though.

[samothraki1]

2nd on the left is mine! Can't remember her name though.

[grammastola]

The second gal on the left -- the one in yellow -- is Ruth Pearson.

[pattayalob]

they changed position in the routine but once it was Ruth and then Cherry

[alanhudsonesq]

Oh wow Pan's People, can I take home the brunnete on the left hand side - please :)))

[PIGSICK1]

Pans people; the only reason to ever watch TOPT

[tykecymraeg]

They were red hot & we loved them all !!....especially Babs.Lovely movers !!

[terrymod]

Babs I love you still ....xxx

[twoslices]

Lousy dancers but they look good

[mariaquays]

the audience wasnt bored, they was just listening and dancing. not shout and screaming like they do these day.

[foneill9]

Funny how bored the audience are....it was quite common to see them being herded around under protest by off-camera staff, who used to frequently urge them to "Dance, for crying out loud!" A lot of our music in those days was undancable anyway...lol

[twold4this]

Wow, I had forgotten how hot they were.

[RJONES1754]

Ah the 70's were not so bad after all!!!!!

Forget the power cuts and strikes when you could watch Pans People!!

[Wingdoss]

I've only just spotted the womble in the audience.

[mignonhenne]

I thought the womble was the host.lol.

Blackpool (the city) was shagging babs.lol

[Wingdoss]

Superb - its liberating to watch the girls without pretending to be disinterested in front of my folks or the g/f. Pans rocked.

[PONTY30]

Wasn't Blackburn shagging Babs at some stage?

Louise was the best in Pans

[45junkie]

RUTH!!!

[swansafc1912]

WOW i remember this song by barry blue so well i was 13 at the time i wonder if P-P Danced to Danceing on a saturday night id love

[AngeloGravity]
