OK Zoe, any memories of TOTP?

Zoe: I remember singing along to the , is that horribly uncool of me? In their marvellous outfits, waving their arms around, just general cheese I guess. I used to get them confused slightly with because they were quite alike. Beyond that I guess my strongest memory is watching TOTP with my Dad when were No.1 with 'True'. My Dad was just sitting there going, "not this again" and it had been No.1 for weeks and weeks and I was like, "it's Martin Kemp, shut up Dad ". He would be really annoying because it would be someone like , 'Wherever I Lay My Hat' and my Dad would sing all the wrong lyrics and be really hideously annoying, so I used to just go and watch it upstairs.

Where did your pop loyalties lie?

Zoe: I was a very unhip kid. I liked Spandau Ballet and . I didn’t mind but I wasn’t a Durannie. I quite liked , I think I was still a bit stuck on and Abba at that point. My husband’s horrified! I went to see , , and ! I was really cool. too. I loved Howard Jones. I remember him on TOTP with the bloke in the chains. Yeah, and (sings) "We are detective", what were they called? !. I remember them on TOTP as well. Class performances..

Do you remember the dancing that Pan’s People and Legs and Co used to do?
Zoe: I can’t remember, I can’t work out whether I remember the dancing people just from watching endless documentaries about TOTP or whether it’s actually remembering them being on the show. I used to do gymnastics and dancing and we used to do routines like it, wearing really bad leotards, to music and I think maybe I’ve actually confused myself with Pan’s People! I’ve got a TOTP annual which has got some really dodgy bands in it and lots of pictures of Legs and Co so I think I was just starting to watch it as they were being phased out.

Do you remember their sexy dancing?

Zoe: Yeah, my (gestures) heart bleeds. And their terrible, terrible monster outfits and things like that. Mind you, not much better than I have to say, and her outfits
