Legs & Co. – Casanova
Top of The Pops October 9th 1980: Legs & Co. dance to Casanova by Coffee. It’s a fabulous historical mash-up, as our heroines dress like 18th century courtesans (well a bit like), and behave like 19th century can-can dancers: all that provocative wiggling; and those little squeals of delight! They seem to be having a […]

Legs & Co. – Shut Up
Top of the Pops, 8 October 1981: Legs & Co. dance while Madness perform Shut Up. It’s October ’81, and the writing is on the wall for Legs & Co.’s TOTP career. Once again they’re reduced to sharing the back of the stage with the audience, while we have difficulty hearing the music (yes the […]

Legs & Co. – From Here To Eternity
Top of the Pops 6 October 77: Legs & Co. dance to “From Here To Eternity” by Giorgio Moroder. This is really more of an exercise in video effects than a dance routine: we can see what’s going on in the silhouetted part, but the background is just a swirly blur of fast moving close-ups. […]

Legs & Co. – Searching
Legs & Co. dancing to Searching by Change on Top of The Pops, Thursday 2nd October 1980. I think I can follow the costume designer’s reasoning here. The song is called “Searching” There was a film called “The Searchers” in 1956 (starring John Wayne) “The Searchers” was a western So costumes should be western style […]

Legs & Co. – Grease
Top of the Pops, 28 September 1978: Legs & Co. dance to Franki Valli’s Grease. These slinky black off-the-shoulder outfits are clearly modelled on Olivia Newton John’s “bad-girl” makeover look from the “You’re the One That I Want” finale in the original film. From the old blog, Saturday, 29 November 2008: Legs & Co. on […]
Legs & Co. – Another One Bites the Dust
Top of the Pops 25 September 1980 Legs & Co. dance to Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. Legs & Co. in lacey black jumpsuits, dancing to a funky Queen number. An unusual routine hampered by the BBC technicians’ enthusiasm for then-cool video effects. From the old blog, Tuesday, 1 March 2011: Here’s a […]
