Well, they were less Politically Correct times than these-so they were probably thinking

"Marsha Hunt---Whho Hoo!!"

_{He didn't even need to use the stick - Marsha would've happily shown him her ass I'm sure. Does anyone remember her incredible performance of "Oh No Not The Beast Day" on Top Of The Pops when her boobs were falling out......?}

No way would they let that on TOTP, that must be from the German show Beat Club or one of it's spin-offs?

That clip is TOTP from 1969 mate. I saw it when I was at school. It was quite a talking point the next day. Here's another clip of it.....

I'm amazed, I"m also amazed that I don't remember it! It was released in the 70's though Ian, not the 60's, she was going out with Mick Jagger when that came out, I'm sure...72 or 73

I regularly used to play that track (Oh No Not the Beast Day) out three or four years ago. There was a girl that used to request "that Not The Beef Steak" song...

Yep, you're right. I took the '69 date from the clip but that's wrong by the looks of it. It was more likely in the early 70's. It was pretty outrageous for British TV at the time. It wasn't often that the underside of a pair of breasts got beamed into the living room @ 7.30pm in those days. Mary Whitehouse is probably turning in her grave LOL....

Gilded Splinters would put it at 69/70 then, but I'm still not convinced the BB would have let that through, and it looks like Beat Club

My 'Guinness Book of Hit Singles' says this was in the UK charts for two weeks from 21 May 1969 - highest position was No 46.

Yep. My mistake. 'Twas "Walk On Guilded Splinters" on TOTP in 1969. I knew I was at school at the time so now it makes sense:-
