"Pan's People" were a British all-female dance troupe most commonly associated with the BBC TV music chart show Top of the Pops, from 1968 to 1976. The group, founded and led by choreographer Felicity "Flick" Colby in December 1966, accompanied top 20 hits on the weekly show for eight years, when artists were unable or unwilling to perform live.Pan's People appeared on many other TV shows in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, and also performed in nightclub cabaret. Pan's People succeeded the Go-Jos in May/June 1968 as the second dance troupe to make monthly appearances on Top of the Pops, when the series aired in black-and-white. They became a weekly feature of the programme following its revamp and time extension in January 1970 and continued for the next six years, giving their last performance in April 1976 when they were replaced by the short-lived Ruby Flipper, also choreographed by Colby.As a result of line-up changes, only one dancer, Ruth Pearson, appeared on the whole run. Owing to their weekly exposure on British television, the group acquired a high profile. In addition, as a result of the increasing number of recordings from 1973 onwards known to have been preserved, the 'classic' line-up that existed from 1972 to 1974 is still widely recognised today. The dancers in this line-up were: Felicity "Flick" Colby (23 March 1946 – 26 May 2011) Babs Lord (born 1945) – member 1966–1975 Dee Dee Wilde (born 1946) – member 1966–1975 Ruth Pearson (13 July 1946 – 27 June 2017) – member 1967–1976 and choreographer on some shows 1967–1970 Louise Clarke (3 September 1949 – 25 August 2012) – member 1967–1974 Cherry Gillespie (born 1955) – member 1972–1976 Colby danced as a member of Pan's People from 1966 to 1972, and remained its principal choreographer throughout their existence. Penny Fergusson briefly rejoined the group for the Frankie Howerd show (broadcast August to September 1969) when Ruth Pearson worked as a choreographer on the Decidedly Dusty TV show (broadcast September to October 1969).In both 1968 and 1969, Pearson was co-credited with Colby for choreography on some shows. Two male dancers, Adrian Le Peltier and Gary Downie, also occasionally accompanied the group between 1968 and 1970, in Happening for Lulu,[ the Bobbie Gentry Show and Top of the Pops. The group also did shows, their manager said in June 1969, "So far this year they have had 24 free days...to compensate it would be a bad week if the girls didn't pick up at least £90 each". From November 1969, Top of the Pops began broadcasting in colour. Each week, from 22 January 1970 up until September 1970, the group performed a short routine during the opening credits.New titles were produced using Andi Rutherford as a dancer, that debuted on 1 October 1970,however, this was only used for 5 editions before finally being replaced in early November by the iconic C.C.S cover version of 'Whole Lotta Love'. The earliest known footage of Pan's People on Top of the Pops is rehearsal footage for the 1 January 1970 edition.(Green River) From 22 January 1970 the programme was extended from 25 to 45 minutes; the group appeared weekly from this point on. Also from this date, Colby as choreographer and the group began to be listed in the end credits of the programme and in Radio Times. Colby chose to concentrate full-time on choreographing the group's routines,making her last performance as a dancer in February 1972. She was not replaced, so the number of dancers reduced to five.
