Two male dancers, Adrian Le Peltier and [[Gary Downie]], also occasionally accompanied the group between 1968 and 1970, in ''[[Lulu (singer)#Television series|Happening for Lulu]]'',<ref>{{cite web|title=Pans People - Funky Street - [Happening For] Lulu TX: 01/02/1969|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkHk6rvcy10|website=Youtube|access-date=2 June 2017}}</ref> the ''Bobbie Gentry Show'' and ''Top of the Pops''.<ref>{{cite web|title=The girls one step ahead|url=http://one-for-the-dads.979225.n3.nabble.com/F-is-for-Flick-tp4062391p4131801.html|work=The Mirror|access-date=2 June 2017|date=23 June 1969}}</ref>

The group also did shows, their manager said in June 1969, "So far this year they have had 24 free days...to compensate it would be a bad week if the girls didn't pick up at least £90 each".<ref>{{cite news|title=The girls one step ahead...|url=http://one-for-the-dads.979225.n3.nabble.com/F-is-for-Flick-tp4062391p4131801.html|access-date=16 June 2017|date=23 June 1969}}</ref>

From November 1969, ''Top of the Pops'' began broadcasting in colour. Each week, from 22 January 1970 up until September 1970, the group performed a short routine during the opening credits.<ref>{{citation |title=TOTP 290170 Intro & Outro |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60hloY3G66Q |language=en |access-date=2022-09-25}}</ref> New titles were produced using Andi Rutherford as a dancer, that debuted on 1 October 1970,<ref>{{citation |title=Top of the Pops Early 1970s Opening Titles |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPeuT0CvBuc |access-date=2022-09-25}}</ref> however, this was only used for 5 editions before finally being replaced in early November by the iconic C.C.S cover version of 'Whole Lotta Love'.

The earliest known footage of Pan's People on ''Top of the Pops'' is rehearsal footage for the 1 January 1970 edition.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pan's People - 'Green River' Top of the Pops Creedence Clearwater Revival|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kob-H7a6AWY |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/Kob-H7a6AWY| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|website=Youtube|access-date=3 June 2017}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

From 22 January 1970 the programme was extended from 25 to 45 minutes; the group appeared weekly from this point on. Also from this date, Colby as choreographer and the group began to be listed in the end credits of the programme and in ''[[Radio Times]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Top of the Pops |issue=2410 |pages=42 |url=http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/ffa19d2a323d4627aded630d118cd0bb |magazine=Radio Times |access-date=3 June 2017 |date=15 January 1970}}</ref>

Colby chose to concentrate full-time on choreographing the group's routines,<ref name="Girls Who Bring Glamour"/> making her last performance as a dancer in February 1972. She was not replaced, so the number of dancers reduced to five.
