These routine databases owe their existence to our resident TOTP experts, primarily Jez, SueFan, Andy, Simon O (and anyone I've inadvertantly missed out!) and a number of other contributors who prefer to remain anonymous, but whose input has been invaluable.  And of course we have had input from the dancers themselves, for which we are extremely grateful.  Thank you to anyone who has contributed in any way.

I am sure that Pans appeared with Dickie Valentine, and  Lulu.

I am still getting to grip with promos. An old Pans database gave different dates to the recent list. Does that mean that one week the promo was screened and the other date, Pans danced and therefore Pans do not appear on the surviving promos? 

Please see this week's Radio Times about BBC4 under threat.

Which promo database do you mean mojo?

Can you give an example of such a discrepancy?

The amazing list from cornershop ( thank you cornershop )  gives 27.4.1974 as the date for Run, Run Run but an older list,  I  can't remember original source, says that Pans danced to this on 30.3.1974  .  Is there anyway we can confirm dates, was the March date a mistake ?  Were there two different occasions when the number was shown , one with Pans and one a film of Jo Jo Gunne ? I expect that one of our real experts  will have an answer.  As it stands it raises hope that a few more dances will appear.

Sadly this is beyond me, John, so yes, let's hope someone like Jez can cone to the rescue with expert knowledge!

Is there going to be a Nationwide section added to 'Television Shows' ? OK, it won't be very big but then neither is the Beat Room.

Yes, you're right, we should have a Nationwide section.  I'll add that now.  If anyone is confused why Coconut isn't in the TOTP listings, hopefully they'll search for it, or read the comments.
