Is it really five years since Five split up? It's hard to tell, as we've been celebrating ever since they finally took the bloody hint.

Of course, the various members of Five - Frank, Hercules, Darren Q, Darren T, Darren T+1, Eliza Cuthbert, Hortense and Gareth - haven't really been that busy in the last half-decade since they split; most have just spent the time sitting around doing very little. Which isn't that different from what they were doing when the band was going, only this time the sitting around isn't punctuated by a man coming in, handing them ten pounds and asking them to take their shirts off for photos.

Now, in a hopeful bid to prove that you can go back, the band are returning, with a greatest hits package and a "huge" UK tour - lots of dates rather than enormous venues, we'd expect.

The official announcement hasn't yet been made, as they're desperately trying to find if any of their fans left forwarding addresses when they hit puberty.
