1969 to 1974 on ITV (Granada)

THIS IS more like it. Cheap and cheerful TOTP-baiting bonanza on t’other side, initially just called LIFT OFF and hosted by GRAHAM BONNEY and, of all people, WALLY WHYTON. But then, and a warm hand on her entrance please, came AYESHA “UFO” BROUGH, hair-sprayed, hot-panted and ready to hoof with the best of them. Them, in this instance, being the likes of Sweet, Slade, Lieutenant Pigeon, Gilbert O’Sullivan and, erm, Peters and Lee. Team of dancers, similarly attired and equally attuned, present if not correct.
