Despite Pauline Boty’s painting 5-4-3-2-1 sharing the same title as the Manfred Mann theme tune to the weekly 1960s music show “Ready Steady Go!” it seems almost beyond doubt that the two are unconnected.
And this also despite the work including its seemingly “Cathy McGowanesque” figure and Boty dancing with Derek Boshier at the recording of the programme on numerous occasions.
