Those first two TOTP videos are fantastic. I particularly like the professional dancers (Legs & Co?), who just can’t help being fluent and coordinated, even when they are trying to do stiff and jerky punk dancing. Some interesting styling choices, too: there’s Robert Mapplethorpe’s Patti Smith from the cover of Horses in the first one, and then presumably The Slits in the second.
