Tricia Roberts

[TOP Fan]

This site actually works, many thanks.

Was she a member of any of the dance groups or just a cheerleader?

Thanks again

[Doc]

I don't think she appeared in Zoo (the Zoo fans may prove me wrong on this) and certainly not any of the previous groups. Other than Cheerleader I've seen her listed as 'warm up' and 'staging'. No idea what the second position entailed.

[TOP Fan]

Again "thank you". it's been so good seeing Tricia and Sandy dancing on the TOPs repeats especially the episodes where they are dancing almost together

                                                    There's no Confusion about what Susie is dancing to here.



                                                      Is that Marilyn I see before me? (and I'm not referring to the 80s pop star).



                                              Susie giving a fine performance to 'Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)'.

                                                                                                                                            




                                                        Body Popping to the Freeez follow-up.

  

                                            Look, no gloves! Steady on, Susie!



                                             Susie brings some much needed ooh la la to Wham!'s Megamix.



                                               She always looks Straight Ahead into the camera.



                   It's Christmas Day - and whilst most people are pouring out a glass of Sherry, Susie has been poured into that dress.



       I don't care if it is Christmas day, Alex...No, you cannot test the tightness of my dress.  Give it up...now!!!!

Kool and the Gang's 'Straight Ahead' was the playout back on the 15/12/83 edition and here it is again for the 5/1/84 show - the 20th anniversary special.

                                        PAULA SOMMERS


          Paula appeared in the Kenny Everett Television Show.

[Gorgeous Daze]

Thanks Mr Hurll. I've noticed Paula quite a lot and wondered who she was.

[Who's That Hurll]

Forget any other fashions this year;  TRICIA SAYS buy this snug fitting Top of the Pops T-shirt.



   

                                       






 

[TOP Fan]

Hello Doc,

More info if possible.

Thanks to you and others i know it's Tricia in the centre but any info on the other two regulars/

[TOP Fan]

Thank you for all the info Hurll

[Doc]

Gina Keer on the right.

[TOP Fan]

Thank you Doc. Did Tricia move on to better things? She didn't seem to have the same confidence as Sandy who, as we know, went on to great heights.

[Doc]

That would be a question for someone more knowledgeable than me.

                                        PAULA SOMMERS

Paula appeared in the Kenny Everett Television Show.

I noticed this girl in a 1981 show, if you imagine her with a perm she could be a young Paula.

[Who's That Hurll]

Interesting theory Doc, but I'm not so sure. When Paula appeared on the Kenny Everett show at the end of 81 and then the first half of 1982, she had a curl to her hair then. This not unattractive picture shows Paula in action, to the left of the scene.

[Who's That Hurll]

Here's another of the regulars - actress Carmina De Gale.


                                                       Two early appearances from 1982.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1983



                                        Gary Davies isn't the only one who's feeling 'Young, Free and Single'.





                                                           With John and Susie.



                                                    Giving Peter her Unconditional Love.



Carmina speaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!. One minute she's talking to Tommy and the next it's Wham! - she's Mixing in with the crowd. (8-12-83)



                                            Looking straight ahead during the Kool & the Gang playout.




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1984



                        Mike finds two of Nena's balloons - only another ninety-seven more to locate.





                                               A couple of Pretty Young Things - Carmina with Sally Stairs.





                                                     Another victim of Simes' irresistible charm.



                                                                  Full of High Energy.
