Well that brings back some fond childhood memories, knickers and all 😁 Legs & Co were my favorite dance troop, and I still think Mike Oldfield’s version of the Blue Peter Hornpipe theme is the best.

And everybody seems so well spoken, including the dancing gals…ahh the warm glow of nostalgia 😌 better times it seems to me.

The British have always had a love affair with bawdy dancers, risque humor, even nudity on TV. I think some Benny Hill episodes feature nudity. Americans would never show this on a children's show back then, probably even today. Thanks to the UK for its unique programming over the years. I loved it when I could see it. TOTP, Ready Steady GO, all the music shows back in the 60's that I had no access to at the time. Legs & Co are new to me as an American. They beat the Solid Gold Dancers by a long shot.
