TOTP 1970 - Pans People Green River

My favourite Pans People routine from the 70s - Dancing to Creedance Clearwater Revival's Green River.

As said: clearly a rehearsal: normally the cameras would be threading their way through a sea of people.

Pan's in go-go mode are just too much for a faint heart (even in this resolution)!

Excellent.This was actually rehearsal footage,which is why some of the girls loose the plot occasionally.And I believe the tape of the actual performance was one of the ones wiped by the Beeb,so this is all there is.Kind of bitter sweet too,as the routines became increasingly literal.A sort of wonderful "here's what you could have won" moment set against Flick Colby's hall of shame in later years that included Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Get Down",Bobby Pickett's "Monster Mash" amongst others. Sigh.

Flick Colby's choreography never seemed to flow very much -- surely the essence of dance is flowing transitions -- and when she couldn't use the

1960s go-go moves any more, she fell back on literalism.and posing. the best dance I saw on TOTP was from Legs and Co with Morning Dance. I suspect Flick didn't work all that out herself!

I love it when Andi gets totally lost and just stops dead for a few seconds before getting back into it. Cock ups happen to the best of us!

Flick was a legend. I would not hold Monster Mash or Get Down against her. She had shit to work with and made the best of it.

RIP Flick.
