Top of the Pops at Lime Grove

Below are some photos taken of Top Of The Pops when it was made in the old BBC Lime Grove Studios, long since demolished. Thanks to Graham Vine of BT and Lenny Young from Bermuda International airport for identifying the artists.

	Manfred Mann and Mike D'abo.
Samantha Juste on the extreme right of this shot.		Could that be Eric Burden?
	Who's the pretty girl alongside Pete Murray? Thanks to Bill Jenkin a Beeb cameraman for 30+ years for the answer:		That was Samantha Juste, official disk spinner of TOTP. She eventually married Micky Dolenz of The Monkees. Their daughter, Ami Dolenz is now an actress in her own right.
This is Joe Parsons who I used to work with in Lime Grove Dubbing Studio maintenance. Does anybody know if he is still around? I used to like him very much. A real gent.			Also at Lime Grove was Jerry, whose second name I forget. I remember he played the organ in a nearby church and used to live with his old mum. I think he and Joe were mechanical maintenance specialists.

More Beeb pictures taken during my time in Manchester between 1967 and 1977.

Hi Mike, The Manfred Mann photos on your website playing at Top Of The Pops show Manfred Mann with Mike D’Abo who took over from Paul Jones after he went solo. I’m not sure if this has been identified to you, as the next photo refers to ‘Ditto…’ but doesn’t correctly state id’s. If this is old news to you, sorry. Love your photos of TOTP though and it’s always great to see Samantha Juste again	Lenny Young	Bermuda
I have an avid interest in vintage television and enjoyed reading and viewing the pictures on your site. Thanks again!	Ollie KIELL	U.K.
