"Fantasy" - Earth, Wind and Fire

#TOTP dance troupe Flick of the Wrist twirl in multi-coloured leotards and ruffs, with extra-flouncy bits of netting and some scaffolding.

The group never turned up to the studio, the skivers, but all six big hits got a #OneForTheDads dance routine.

"Contact" - Edwin Starr

Contact with Flick of the Wrist? Tell us this is a Hand-some Peter Powell episode without telling us it's a Hand-some Peter Powell episode.

Cripes, the local louts are out on my way back. How can i sneak past them with my cargo of meatballs?

Incapacitate the louts with Darts Bunny and the Master Blasters? Naah, not that desperate.

Pour out a few meatballs so they get under the baddies feet and they fall over like on Home Alone? Only works in the movies.

Hide in the back of a pantomime camel, like Flick of the Wrist demonstrated? An excellent idea!

"Don't stop till you get enough" - The Jacksons

Legs & Co with one of their more exuberant routines: black dresses against a plain white backdrop.

#TOTP #OneForTheDads

Wait, they've had "You're the one that I want" in the top five and *not* shown The Clip? This is a crime against broadcasting and must be rectified immediately!

Legs & Co + Floyd Pearce - You're The One That I Want (TOTP 20th July 1978)

"Mad eyed screamer" - The Creatures

Siouxsie and Budgie made a massive impact coming after four repeats.

They also make a massive impact coming after "The birdie song", from the impenetrably naff to the obscenely cool.

Somehow, I don't think this is a song about nuclear war.

Then it's "Hands up" by Ottowan, with a Legs & Co showgirls dance they could re-use for the new Taylor Swift album.

It's almost the end of the show... shoot, we've not included #OneForTheDads.

Quick, get the &co to gyrate on the half-built Celebrity Squares set while we make sure the smoke cannon work.

We'll put some dad rock in the background in post-production.

"Don't bring me down" - Electric Light Orchestra

#TOTP #ELO

Zoo - and a special guest troupe of Moroccan tumblers - do their gymnastics to "Big fun" by Kool and the Gang.

"Summertime" - The Fun Boy Three

Their take on George and Ira Gershwin's jazz standard. Is it only a year since "Ghost town"? So much has changed for Terry and the band.

"La primavera" - Sash!

Hard lines to the contestant on Ten to the Top this morning, who confused this song in Italian with the French-language "A common frog".

Still, it's good to see that Pan's People have a European counterpart.

"Ma Baker" - Boney M

Danced by Legs & Co. Long frilly skirts and chair dancing, while another trouper is on the screen behind.
