Legs & Co: June 1980

Ойын-сауық

On 10 June 1980 we all went along to the BBC rehearsal studios in London to have a chat with Legs & Co. At the time they were dancing on the BBC's flagship music programme Top of the Pops, every Thursday evening. This is the footage, (un-cut) as shot by me on the day. David Ghani was asking the questions. This was recorded on Low Band U-Matic format tape.

    It's quite interesting to see them sitting still, speaking normally, with the camera getting a good look at their faces. From this interview, at least in 1980, it seems quite clear to me that Gill was the prettiest one. But the fascinating thing is that when they are on stage dancing that can change, and other girls can look the most beautiful at different times. I have seen dances where I thought Lulu was clearly the prettiest, and others were I thought it must be Rosie, except when she makes faces.

    Посмотрите на 9:12 как смотрит Сью. Молодец оператор! Выждал, и показал её сущность. Все бабы "актрисы". в худшем смысле этого слова. Они притворщицы. В глаза улыбаются, а в душе совершенно наоборот. Там - Недоверие! Неискренность! И не известно что. Там - Черти..... Как-то одном интервью, какая-то девушка - танцовщица призналась, что она и её коллеги по профессии частенько подрабатывают "старой профессией ". Я думаю: эта публика из их числа.
