Oh I don't know... at least in those days you didn't need to bother with tiresome cables,
amps or microphones to get a broadcast sound... it was all just picked up from the ether
and came ready-mixed...

The choreography slipped up slightly at 0'35". And again at
1'01", 1'13".... Inexcusable.

I don't remember the Blue Peter one but I do remember seeing them do that one on TOTP (or
was it RSG?) at that time. Quite endearing, really. And quite hard to do throughout a
track, even if you are miming. I vaguely remember the Barron Knights doing their 'Call up
the Groups' with the parody of this in it. Was that on the telly or am I imagining it?

At least it was
honest. The punters wanted to see the act and hear the record. That's what they got,
without cluttering the set with purely cosmetic microphones, as is often done now.

And what a boon the switched-off radiomic is
to set-clutterers.

Seem to remember
that Freddie had his own children's TV show in the late '60's but it was a bit naff
compared to some of the other children's music TV shows we had then.

I remember reading somewhere, quite likely SOS, a discussion about the importance of
equipment v talent, and someone made the point that Freddie and the Dreamers had exactly
the same amps and instruments as the Beatles....you can figure the rest.

I've shown that vid to my 13yr old daughter (Ed Sheeran fan) and 19yr old (metalhead).
They didn't even laugh they just smiled a little and looked quizzical. I can't say I can
give them any meaningful explanation.
