Sue wanted to add this as one of her favourites.  She appears for longer in the first of two versions:

Finally, a big thanks to Andy who digitised this for us, the third version of Sue's dance, in the Christmas 1978 TOTP end title sequence:

Great solo dancing and the second outing got another airing on the '78 Xmas show.

Was the Xmas outing identical, just a repeat, Suefan?

Just wondered if I needed to put u p an additional copy.

The Christmas 78 showing of Annies Song was another version which was shown under the credits

Hi Any, thanks for that bit of info.  I'm wrong then in thinking it was simply a repeat of the earlier VT.  If you have the Xmas outing any chance of a post either here or over on OFTD's?

You guys may know off the top of your head, but the Xmas show wasn't wiped? 1978 was a year without any losses?

Andy has very kindly provided a file of the third version of Sue's routine, in the 1978 Christmas TOTP.  I've edited into the main article.

Thanks Andy!
