I think i need one of those hankies to mop my brow.I love this dance.I think the cameraman loved Lulu the amount of time he lingered on her - 13 seconds !

Great song and dance, brings back memories from school
we all tried to sing this and emphasize the 'ting'.

Is this magnificent rountine now 'Top Of The Nots 1978' ?.Due to it being presented by DJ no.2 on the BBC-4 boycott list.A real shame.The license fee folk of Merrie England demand: Reggae : Legs-style !!.

If you mean DLT, it may be shown, we'll know the outcome of his bail hearing in January, & in any case, it looks like BBC Four are going ahead with the Boxing Day '77 edition, co-presented by DLT, & apparently his appearance in the recent repeat of Sounds Of The 70's pt.2, wasn't cut out, this was presumably testing the water of public reaction, nothing untoward has happened yet.

*touches some wood*

Great news! if the Boxing Day edition with DLT & Tony Blackburn gets transmitted by BBC-4 at Christmas.Clearly the Christmas Day 1977 edition with Noel Edmonds & Kid Jensen is safe & maybe will  go out Christmas Day 2012 ?.Would seem silly to have one special without the other.

Who knows? maybe the Uptown Top Ranking routine will get transmitted in correct chronological position of the schedule in early 2013?.Not too optimistic that it will,myself.A L&C routine that deserves better than to be boycotted from tv transmission through no fault of anyone involved in it.

If this is correct, this is great news. :)

What I don't understand though is why, if BBC Four is going to repeat 26/12/77, why haven't they shown 20/10/77 (belated) or be showing 1/12/77?

I keep my fingers crossed that 26/12/77 is repeated with DJ links intact.
