Don't think I've ever been so bummed out by a BBC Four documentary...and to end with a ticking clock!!

The clock was a lovely touch. Might as well have faded out to a tombstone.

I think so, possibly because I had low expectations. I was fearful it could be an embarassment.

Also, I won a mobile phone afterwards when I wrote a review of the concert

Wow, nice one!

I presume this is a Jimmy Savile-free episode.

He's gone forever. As is Jonathan King.

Dave Lee Travis might be back if he doesn't have to face a retrial.

Billy, you should go solo.

grey_so_what · 23-02-2014 12:47AM

Well Billy, Bless him, wasn't the best mimer!......

Nice suit, Billy.

You gotta take the rough with the smooth on the Beebrock thread!

If they didn't have enough money for video's/ or shortage of performers the girls did a little number guaranteed to be on the rise for the coming week...(they might have know what to pick though...(if) the Charts may have been fixed...:eek:)

Arlene Philips was the Choreographer......

They used to be Pan's People before Legs & Co......(getting hip with it!)....:D

Welsh Megaman · 23-02-2014 12:54AM

Watch those hands, Mr. Powell...

Legs & Co were the TOTP in house dance troupe at the time. When an act didn't/couldn't perform live they did their own interpretation of the song. usually a very literal interpretation

Video killed the TOTP dance troupes.

Edit: Like what GSW said

Ha ha, I may have been premature with my "It's all good" comment.

Feckin disco. A show about them getting old and dying might be good.

Ah seriously.
What year is this.

Chrissie to redeem things a bit.

1979.

Yes, it was a dark time!

This song was written by a man after he was let go by Motown

This female-empowerment anthem is about moving on after a bad relationship. Over the years, it has taken on meaning for people who have overcome just about any difficult situation, but for the song's lyricist, Dino Fekaris, it was about getting fired by Motown Records, where he was a staff writer. Says Fekaris: "They let me go after almost seven years. I was an unemployed songwriter contemplating my fate. I turned the TV on, and there it was: a song I had written for a movie theme titled Generation was playing right then (the song was performed by Rare Earth). I took that as an omen that things were going to work out for me. I remember jumping up and down on the bed saying, 'I'm going to make it. I'm going to be a songwriter. I will survive!"
