Recently posted on Youtube, here's are footage from the wiped Top of the Pops edition from 30 December 1971. between songs, Ed "Stupid" Stewart interviews individual members of Pan's People... but unfortunately, no audio survives.
They're all wearing the Jeepster outfits from that same edition.
Questions, Questions: Why no audio? why is he wearing an eyepatch? What are they saying? How does he manage to get a kiss from all of them (except Flick*)? When was toupée tape invented anyway?
The Youtube video (also available at our chums' site) was unfortunately stretched out of shape to fit the widescreen aspect ratio (it's happening more and more these days) so I've resampled it here. And since I didn't think the added music matched the mood quite right, I've switched it with Jean Knight's excellent Mr. Big Stuff from that same year, 1971.

*Perhaps in the BBC of 1971, deejays outrank dancers, but choreographers outrank deejays?
