As requested by Carl, here's Ruby Flipper - Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Since there's wearing the same outfits as the previously posted Morning Glory routine, it's no surprise that this is from the same TOTP episode (26-8-1976). Such fabulous costumes: Cherry should always wear purple and gold.
Like most of my clips from the EinsFestival TOTP repeats, this one was put up on YouTube by nyrainbow4, so thanks are due to him or her.

Thank you YMG.
an absolute classic of a song.
This is one of those rare routines that focuses quite a bit on the audience. They are a mixed bunch aren't they? Some of them are a bit lethargic in their willingness to dance, while others get into the spirit and make much more of an effort. The Flipsters are wearing some of their best costumes on this (erm apart from Philip- can't stand those wellies, sorry)
It's really nice towards the end when Ruby Flipper are doing their high kicking and the audience are all joining in. Watching this always makes me feel good.
I agree, a real feel-good routine and thank goodness they resisted that awful temptation to grab someone from the audience. It might have been risky for the girls to try this in those costumes anyway! (Philip would have been relatively safe though)
I always like to look out for Noels desperate attempts to chat up the audience girls during this performance, what a loser.
I also dig the choreography, or should i say lack of it in this routine. I suppose it reflected the easy going nature of that golden summer. Oh and i must not forget to give princess cutie pie a mention, cant make my mind up which RF shoot she looks the cutist in, ive narrowed it down to about 10.
Sue v Lulu in this period of time, what a choice. God am i starting to waver here. No its got to be Sue,i think.
Gosh! The great Ryan is wavering! Good thing I'm SWORN TO IMPARTIALITY and would never favour one girl over another.
They'll probably start an innocent discussion about Heaven Must Be missing an Angel just to get you to watch one of Lulu's most heartbreakingly cute performances. Or maybe ask your opinion of the costumes in Shake Your Booty.
But you should definitely beware anyone who seems interested in discussing Sue's performance on Dancing with the Captain. They're just trying to expose you to Lulu's CUTIE-PIE RAY on FULL BEAM. So difficult to resist. Be strong.
Your friend,
YMG
Its got to be Sue every time for me, but Lulu during this period is very cute. Anyway YMG enough of this impartiality nonsense, i reckon Lulu is your favourite girl, just come out and admit it, and i wont mention it again, honest i wont,haha.
Ryan just admit it. You love Lulu more than Sue. You know your just sticking with Sue because you feel sorry for her.
HOW DARE YOU, mr or is it miss anon. Sue is the high priestess of all dancing girls,and by that token she is and always will be my number one girl. I do seem to spend all day thinking about her, is that right for a man of my years, who knows. Thats why i`ve recently diverted my eyes on our lovely young princess to try to get my mind of Sue.The only problem with miss cutie is that the 1978 `version two` Lulu is on the horizon, and she goes out of commission for 12 months.
See thats the thing about Sue, no bad days, 1974-1981 completly faultless, mega fit and the one true `head girl`. Its outrageous you should suggest i feel sorry for her,nothing to feel sorry for,maybe you should apologise to me for even taking the time to write such a daft thing.
Ryan have you written that to convince me or yourself?
ah leave ryan alone. hes a good guy
Hey geezer nice to hear from you. One things for sure anybody who knows me knows i dont have to convince myself about Sue, and why i need to convince some dude who hides behind a anonymous wall i just dont know. I love this kinda thing though,its great fun,cya soon,SUCKA,lol.
Your aggressiveness towards me shows it is true. That you prefer Lulu over Sue. There is nothing wrong in saying you do. You love this kind of stuff. Well so do I.
Cool, i reckon your a female,am i right ? Dudette why not go on the forum and we can have some fun, what you say baby. Im not aggressive though, i like to portray a calm and sedate persona. I must admit to the odd sulk every now and again though.
Dont know why you seem interested in my choice of women, but i do like Lulu versions one and three.But sorry its Sue for me everytime. Glad you have shown an interest in me,i dont know why,but thanks !!!! Hey writing on here is like the good old days.
Ryan, I believe you are a loyal and faithful Sue Worshipper, now and forever...
...but even I, the sombre moderator, just can't help it when your so easy to wind up.
Sorry. -ish.
Ryan is that your detective work for the year, trying to figuire out if I am male or female? Your not very good at this are you? First you come with all guns blazing and what they just fizzle out. Think your brain is working to much trying to figuire out who I am. Well if it keeps you from thinking of Sue then all be it. I do think Sue is about 4th way down your list of L&C girls. There is no shame in that.
i like this dance routine but i agree it does lack a bit more choreography but then they had done their main performance with morning glory this end routine was just used as a fill in cos they had showed elton and kiki video for what seemed to be the whole of 76 summer and decided to involve the audience a bit more for this episode
Hi to the anon girl,
Yes your right,i was up for the scrap at first but im so fed up with the bickering on the forum, i thought i would seek sanctuary on this the comments board. But no i even get hassled here, is there no where safe on this blog no more ? I know i do attract controversary and i ask for all i get, but come on give a guy a break.If you want to claim some sort of victory , fine by me.
Listen im more interested in you than what you keep going on about. I know your not a geezer because he wouldnt persist in your rather odd line of questioning.
Maybe your a chick who wants to get with `the Ryanmeister`. Well let me tell you theres a few miles racked up on the clock, but theres still plenty of gas left in the tank baby !Do you look like Sue ? Are you as sexy as Sue ?Do you look like perfection, oh if you want a definition of perfection might i suggest you gaze into my avatar pic for about 10 seconds. Yeah shes a beauty, you agree.
I noticed that you posted a message on here about 5.30 ish this morning, wow,you seem quite keen on the subject of Ryan and Sue. I hope your not jealous! Oh no, Your not going to be my blog stalker are you, will i have to bury myself away deep in the older posts to get away from you.
Listen im only teasing,claim the win why dont you. But how you could think i could dump Sue into 4th, pah ! And YMG having a slight pop at me also. What a safe haven this place once was,haha.
Why would you be interested in me? Yes I am female and it isnt a victory if you give up at the first hurdle. First off people like me would eat you alive, but hey if you fancy and into that then fair enough.
Im interested in any female who takes the time to write stuff like this about me. Yes ive given up trying to go toe to toe with you. I just wanna know who you are.Do you eat many guys alive, it does sound kinda fun !!!!!
I was starting to think are you mentally deranged, but your obviously skilled in this sorta thing. Come on give me a clue who you are. Are you married ?
Do you ever come on the forum, why do you stay anon, I suppose this thread cant go on for ever. Will you dissapear now and go and bewitch somebody else or is the fantasy i have with Sue in my head still gonna your number one priority. Come on stop teasing me give me a clue to who you are,please.
I find it more fun and interesting to keep you wondering who I am. Maybe it will keep them old brain cells of yours working. The answer to your question is no I am not married. Is that much of a clue for you? I read the forum. Why you want me to play your little game?
PLease, please who are you. You are brain washing me here. Hey why dont you go on the forum and email me who you are.
Maybe i am wavering checkout my comment on the `dont blame it on the boogie` number on here.
Your a tease.
It is more fun this way. Thanks I know. Dave it is called having alittle bit of fun, not hiding behind anon name. People arent blinkered as you Sue fans.You seriously need to chill dude. My fun is with Ryan as per agreement. So but out of my fun
WOW,little miss feisty. Have you just eaten Dave alive.
A feel good song and dance which never fails to make me smile.Natural dancing, which I love to see, with a great atmosphere in the studio where everybody seems to be having a good time. A perfect recipe to cheer any ones day up. A priceless post. Benja :-)
