Top of the Pops 1970 Mystery Girl Dancer

M’mm, blue Premier drum kit...

 

Looks like the snare is upside down?

 

That was the muso thing to show you they were miming.

 

Make sure you bring some boiled sweets when you visit the rest home.

 

She was probably a BBC staffer. They often peopled the audience with young, hot staff members back then. The fact that she was present so many times points toward this being a very real possibility. It isn’t particularly easy to get into the audience of popular TV shows on a regular basis.

The same still holds true for things like Later ... with Jools Holland. I’ve been in the audience for that show a couple of times, and I really had to pull strings in order to be there for the artists I wanted to see. You can apply for tickets way in advance, but you won’t know who’ll be appearing, and it’s a lottery if you’ll even be successful.

 

Oh, that's Prunella Bundrick of 416-C Worsterchestershire Street in West Clogagh Villlage Upper Plinth County SA9 4XX.... thought everyone knew her.

 

As I think of it, age doesn't really mean anything.

You may as well fixate on someone like Judy Garland back in 1939 as someone who is a famous actress today.

You will likely have just as much chance of getting a date.

Statistically speaking, you would have a slightly better chance of getting a date with someone who is alive today. But that is only statistically speaking.

 

I hate to disagree with your reasoning, but I think I have a better chance of getting a date with dead Judy Garland than I do with a live Jennifer Lawrence.

 

will there ever be a time when ppl can just zip the insults? geez... LOL..the guy absolutely has a reason for wanting to find her identity...I wish I could help him out, but I don't recognize her...someone will...

 

There should be TOTP thread.

 

That would take any anxiety out of your grooming them.

 

Interesting.

 

Those camera men wouldn’t get away with all that upskirting malarkey in today’s world.

But as it was 50 years ago the era of classic albums ..music per se. It’s best valued from a historic perspective.

 

There were worse things going on in the studio than that, especially when Savile was presenting.

 

Nah, I get it, the "who's that girl?!" thing in old music dance show videos, etc...

I was struck by the petite dancer girl in this "Finders Keepers" video.
She's the smallest one who appears 4th in the intro scroll, and throughout the video you can tell she was probably trained as a dancer or ballerina, but somehow ended up in this gloriously choreographed mess...
(This was "Pan's People" TOTPs/BBC Dancers, circa 1973)

 

Cherry

Chairman Of The Board (1973)

 

I see YouTube has complete TOTP episodes wouldn’t be surprised if they where uploaded by BBC cameramen /staff.

 

They never uploaded the unedited: "The Sweet - Blockbuster" Gay Hitler episode, alas...

(The BBC has done a massive dump of archival material up on YT these past couple years...)

 

The classic Pan's People clip:

 

The golden retriever is loving it.

 

Tis a great show end of January 1970:

 

Maybe not quite a date, but you might stand a chance getting closer to her?

 

Chicago, no less.

 

Thanks for posting this, goodiesguy. Excellent show with Badfinger-Come and Get It, Shocking Blue-Venus, Canned Heat-Let's Work Together,
Edison Lighthouse with Tony Burrows-Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) and more.
