Steady on old chap, this is the programme that first put Jimmi Hendrix before the public, and Miss Olivia Newton John, in a skin tight black & red velvet Mr Freedom trouser suit. Not all bad then.
OK. But the naff format and the banal links were, I guess meant to be that way – self parody and all that. Or was it? That’s altogether a more chilling prospect……
As to the content, well fair enough. It’s the wrapping that makes me heave.

Why PAN's people?
Pan - the randy little half-goat - (see JoeH above) was acolyte/companion of Dionysus, Greek God of wine, partying, etc.
Probably the most celebrated worshippers of Dionysus were the Bacchae, highly-fuelled, wild women, with more than a touch of sexual overtone, gyrating and cavorting in the woods* (who could, and - it is said - sometimes did tear onlookers - voyeuristic or accidental - apart with their bare hands.)
Sounds like Babs and co to me!! (*Anyone else especially remember the celebrated 'Monster Mash' routine?)
Q.E.D. (and I don't mean hi-fi accessories)!
