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.

I noticed how all of the girls talked properly real English..how the English language has changed to almost total slang in just 40 odd years.

It was 1976 when I first saw Pauline with the girls when they were part of a competition to give them the title Legs & Co. Many years later and she still makes my heart flutter.

Depending on the routine, favorites (in no particular order) are Andi Rutherford (Pan's), Sue Menhenick, Pauline Peters, and Rosie Hetherington.

Just after the strike had begun on Top of the Pops.
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.
