Very little work survives with Flick actually dancing, she preferred to act as choreographer. The original line-up began changing from 1972, but Kaleidoscope has found some wonderful footage of the original line-up that we look forward to sharing with you. Richard Marson is an expert on Top of the Pops and has worked with members of Pan's People. We welcome him as a guest interviewer.
