A Replacement?
The Top of the Pops production team did not directly put together a replacement for Zoo or Flick Colby. Instead, a varying line-up of dancers were individually invited to appear on the programme, many of whom became regular sights on TOTP dancing among the audience during the mid 1980s. This collection of dancers became known to the production staff as "cheerleaders", and they were seen on the programme until early 1986. At least three dancers who were ever credited as a member of Zoo; Pinky, Sandie and Tony; became "cheerleaders".
