80s celebrity comebacks- who's next?

[Lady Whistledown]

Have just noticed that ITV have dug up 80s jumpsuit queen Anneka Rice for a Christmas special edition of Challenge Anneka next week, which will no doubt wind up with her stepping into Fern Britton's shoes on This Morning during the summer holidays, and several regular slots on GMTV.

Following on from Noel Edmonds' unexpected comeback this year too, and a planned one off Swap Shop programme, which other 80s "legends" can we expect to be dredged up for 2007? And should it be allowed?

Maggie Philbin perhaps? Sarah Greene?

What about these two...(please god no)?

I thought I read something about a one-off. Perhaps it was a documentary instead?

Yes he is now the lead singer of the Sisters of Mercy

At risk of being controversial, if this man asked your kids to sit on his knee while he did something special for them, would you let them?

I almost walked into 80s frontman Kirk Brandon of Spear of Destiny fame outside Churchill Square earlier today. Anyone know if he's Brighton based?

[Stevegull]

Bring back Jimmy Melia

 

[The Large One]

The question is, of course, what would the kids of today ask Jim to Fix for them?

No more the requests to meet Duran Duran, or to fly in an RAF fighter jet.

Clearly the fact I didn't know this means that I have sufficiently good TV taste not to be watching GMTV each morning


I really hope they've locked away the key as far as this guy's concerned....
