BBC VT technicians’ traditional christmas blooper tape 1978: Legs & Co dance to Dan Hartman’s Instant Replay.
From the old blog, Sunday, 25 December 2011:
I’ve posted Lulu, Patti and Pauline dancing to this song on Top of the Pops before: but here’s an entirely different version. This clip is from the 1978 BBC VT technicians’ traditional christmas blooper tape, and features Legs & Co visiting the VT blokes in their cavernous dungeon. As PattiforPM points out, these outfits are from their Sweet Talking Woman routine, broadcast 26/10/78, so we can roughly date the recording to the last week in October. Sorry for the crummy tape quality, but it’s the best I can find.
“The good old BBC Blooper Tapes … thought up and created by a really clever and funny guy …Grant Watkins. Sadly no longer with us but such a decent chap wit a wicked sense of humour and who had a big soft spot for Legs and Co. We happily helped out on a few of his classic tapes … Some Girls … Nice Legs, Shame about the Face and this rendition of White Powder Xmas. The VT department were all great fun when we did these tapes and a great laugh. Grant, I think was very kind to us and spared us some of our worst moments, but then we did help out by participating!” – Sue
I’ve already posted their performance from the 1979 blooper tape, Nice Legs, a while ago.
Merry Christmas, folks!
