BUT NOW THEY MUST BE 40, SURELY?

We're not the sort to be excited by the news that a once-famous act is turning up at G-A-Y, or "a step ahead of celebrity wrestling", but on April 30th they're hosting Daphne and Celeste and Lolly. Both of whom were a lot older than they were meant to be in the first place, and they're still pretending to be the same age. Hurrah!

We're also delighted that there's still, floating about online, a video capture from the time Daphne and Celeste were on hand to seranade Huw Edwards as he left TV Centre from BBC Choice's much-missed RDA. (Actually, can we have this back now? Please?) [RealPlayer link and, be warned, also features Jim Davidson]

Go on, treat yourself:

    Although of course Lolly at least has had gainful employment since - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/xchange/show/xclusive/anna.shtml

    Although to be fair, one of them was half an album as the rest was "karaoke" and the other was half of the first one again...

    Hmm... we use a different technical term for albums released at full price that are little more than retreads round here. But it's a fair point.
