After the resignation of Pan’s People, Ruby Flipper – a mixed-gender septet – debuted on TOTP 06/05/1976. Alas, they weren’t very popular with either the viewers or the head of the BBC, so their reign on our screens lasted less than six months.
Legend:
Dancers: C = Cherry; F = Floid; G = Gavin; L = Lulu; P = Patti; Ph = Phil; S = Sue
Exists: Yes = colour recording exists at the BBC
