Top Of The Pops' least successful dance troupe
From 30th September 1982 here's how Pops chose to celebrate Radio 1's fifteenth birthday. Note that Jimmy introduces "my colleagues" while pointing across the studio, followed by a cut to the other stage with Jimmy at the front of the pack.
A bunch of schoolteachers doing dodgy dad dancing at an end of term disco, trying to get down with the kids. The choice of "Friend for Foe" with the quirky "wah wah" refrain and the camera pausing intermittently at the presenters facial expressions made the whole thing look even funnier. Priceless!
