Pan's People choreographer Flick Colby dies

[grumpyoldb]

Thought I'd post this here as it's about totty.

Flick Colby, a dancer and choreographer who helped make Top of the Pops troupe Pan's People a national institution, has died at the age of 65.
Colby co-founded the group, who, in the days before music videos, accompanied hits on the weekly TV show when artists could not perform.

They first appeared in 1968 and spent eight years as the resident dancers.
Colby died of bronchial pneumonia at her home in Clinton, New York, on Thursday, the group's publicist said.

If I was only 14 again, I'd disappear off to my bedroom for a tug....

Nurse, tissues please!

There was a classic gag about Pan's People in an episode of Porridge......
Fletch lies on the bed reminiscing about the members of Pan's People and remarks about "Beautiful Babs.......... and the rest of her was alright too......." or words to that effect.

So long Flick, Thanks for brightening up my teenage years.......... x

I remember well when they disappeared from the screens. No-one knew where raunchy Jacquie Arthurs had gone. Not quite no-one though. The entire course and DS ahead of me at Henlow knew Officer Cadet Jacquie, intimately !!
