1971 - My favourite Pan's People year ! - so looking forward to seeing this complete.Many thanks Panfan.

i think the totp episode listings on popscene are very good ,but members from their will tell you that some of the pans routine info ,is sometimes a bit hit and miss as if it is correct on wiped shows ,im not a member over there ,but i would love to ask the person who compiled the episodes lists as to how the info on pans routines on certain episodes came about and not on the other episodes that are listed

Hi panfan ,not sure which performance of hot love it is coz it says the video is blocked ,pans danced along twice with t rex to hot love ,one routine was done as a proper backing dance ,with pans dancing on one stage then moving over to the next stage to dance in front of t rex ,the other clip of the song features pans dancing along amongst the audience ,jumping up and clapping against and then behind t rex ,as they are singing hot love ,they are wearing different coloured t shirts and trousers on that clip ,i think that clip comes from the 25/3/71 ,but not sure on the date of the other

Hi panfan ,yes its working now ,this is the clip that im not sure of the date ,it only survives because it was used on the tv show disco i think ,and they dont seem to have junked their shows like the bbc and itv have over here ,yes the other t rex clip survives still i think in the bbc archives ,ill have a look panfan if i can spot it on you tube ,it was repeated some years back on sounds of the 70s

yes its up there panfan on youtube ,just type in t rex hot love top of the pops and the other t rex version is on there,the routine is not as good as the one you posted ,but nevertheless is still features the members of pans amongst the audience

I think that the Persuaders promo was made in 1971, but I don't know the date it was broadcasted or if it was on TOTP.

panfan ,hope you dont mind me mentioning that the promo for tap turns on the water ,done by pans does exist

it would be really good news for us fans of the dancers ,if we knew for definite that their pans performances on the databases were 100 percent correct ,i know dates can be sometimes wrong ,but it would be really helpful to know the song entry was correct ,if it is we would be able to fill in the missing dancers songs info with no problems ,but what gives me a few doubts are like on the 16/5/74 episode of totp on popscene ,they have got louise clarkes last apperance listed as spiders and snakes ,and pans member sue menhenick confirmed that she is almost sure it was the r dean taylor song ,theres a ghost in my house ,as she remembers rehearsing that routine with the pans girls to get some experience at dancing with them before she made her debut ,and popscene have this song listed as the chart rundown on this perticular show

Excellent work as ever!

Just a small thing, but I think the 27 Dec 1971 entry of My Sweet Lord must be the Xmas repeat of the dance originally done on 21 January, which is showing as deleted?

the early pans of my sweet lord early clip has gone from the early shows ,but the same clip survives on totp 71 part 2 ,which is still in the archives

More puzzles to solve!!  Will it never end.....!

Thanks for your input.

My mistake........I had assumed that both of those routines had been taped earlier.

My friends'  wife (who is a dancer) is visiting DeeDee's dance school in a few weeks, so I may have to jot down a few cheeky questions for her!

Cheers

Looking on the Kaleidoscope site it says they have a Phillips 1500 tape of 2/12/71. The routine that day would have been Cher-Gypsies, tramps and thieves according to Popscene. I've not seen it listed on any other site as surviving.
