My god!I thought my shaded characters were shite!
and... Karen Standley was a 27-year-old secretary and housewife from Berkshire, and took a day off to record the sequence.
"The moves were my very own," recalled Karen, who never danced professionally but got the job because her boyfriend at the time worked for Top of the Pops and was contracted to make the titles for Tales of the Unexpected.
She was seen only in silhouette on screen and for the recording had to wear a white body stocking and white tights, with white greasepaint on her arms and legs to achieve the necessary effect.
"The greasepaint kept melting under the hot studio lights," she said. "It was horrible and uncomfortable and it took three baths to wash it all off. But it gave me some money - nothing staggering, but I got a new outfit out of it."
"I was just told to look as sexy as I could and I made it up as I went along. I got a fair amount of fan-mail - mostly adolescents who wanted a picture of me (bugger it wasn't just me then). I suppose I was their fantasy woman."
Karen is now a mother of two and works as a receptionist in a hospital accident and emergency department.
* Hang on b3ta, I will be back in a minute..
