When I first heard about this, I thought it was a rehash of that thing ITV did a few years ago where old bands came on and sang new songs - I still remember Shalamar singing 'Hey Ya' and looking slightly bemused, not to mention Hazel O'Connor sings Kylie - but no. It's basically ITV ripping off 'Steps The Reunion' but with lots of other bands we'd all pretended to forget. Slightly alarmed by the promo pic, as it looks like a Job Club advert, and the individual snaps are a mix of 'what's happened to him, he looks emaciated' to 'hasn't she ballooned!' to 'Is that someone's dad?' but, with 4 out of 5ive taking part and still a soft spot for Libery X I'll probably tune in.

Put them on a bus and send them to the USA to perform.

Put them on a bus and send them to the USA to perform. I'd forgotten about that version. Who hosted that? Davina? There was also Living's 'Bring Them Back And Give Them Life Coaching And A Makeover' show, which, granted, did reunite Jay Aston with Bucks Fizz whilst kicking out Shelley - which they swore on National TV would never happen.

Who hasn't shouted 'you're a nasty piece of werk' in a scouse accent when drunk? Watching that YouTube clip whilst waiting for my ham and mushroom tagliatelle to microwave (only 400 calories!) had dramatically improved my lunchtime.

Isn't Abs looking cadaverous? He looks like he belongs on a slab being prodded by Emilia Fox.

The reason why I didn't get further with putting old posts back up is that I kept having to stop to watch all the clips I'd chosen.

I haven't checked in a while to see if Sonia's The Greatest Love Of All is on YouTube, the song that provoked the fight and send dear, dead Whitney into a drug fuelled decline.
Rosie Ribbons' The Winner Takes It All is on YouTube though, putting other reality contestants to shame with get vocal range and stage presence.

Is it time for a revival of Duet Impossible yet? New-look cadaverous 4our could 'duet' with holograms of 5ive and then have an argument.

I mean, maybe he always been, but the other two have AGED and good ol' Jimmy looks timeless. I'm really AT A LOSS as to who the most attractive member of 5ive is, these days. I might just watch this to see if Richie Neville has managed to pick up a weird quasi-Australian twang whilst working across there, as had been rumoured.

This has me so excited even if it is nothing but a ripoff of previously badly done ideas.
And time has not been kind to certain members of B*witvhed or 911.

I'm sure the one on the far right of 911 came to unblock my mother's toilet.

Is that ginger one Natasha Hamilton? I thought it was Mutya Buena. This programme still excites me greatly, mind you, although B*Witched do look slightly more like a Northern club circuit tribute to the Nolans than I remember. Was there not a scandal involving one of them lying about her age a few years back? Whichever one it is must be fifty now if she's a day.

It comes to something when the only thing I remember about blond Liberty X man is that he looked like the actor being interracially sodomised on a pooltable in Footballers Wives. I played Holding On For You a lot over Christmas. Such a nice wintery song.
Do you think they were expressly told it would be ITV2 before they signed up for it?

I'm sure Sinead was found out to be actually lying about being 26 back in 1998. I had high hopes she would look like a young Sarah Harding, but the brown do is more severe than those spoken word judgments on C'est La Vie.
It's a shame J isn't there - I never appreciated how hot he was back in the day as it was always more about Abs and the fatter Abs guy when he wasn't that fat.
Natasha's looking like Una from the Saturdays (the ginger one obviously).
I'm sad that Solid HarmoniE aren't there instead of Honeyz, but Heavenli (who was in both) looks hellish.

I'm a bit annoyed that this show doesn't feature Jenny Frost and is going to pretend (again) that Katona was a part of Atomic Kitten when they were halfway successful (she's in the first video for Whole Again but had already left by the time it was released IIRC).

Kerry Katona era Atomic Kitten were just better though.
I hope Sean from 5ive blows the lid off The Voice and calls Jessie J a bad word.

You'd think they would have got both Kerry and Jenny, and ditched Liz if they really needed to.

You'd think they would have got both Kerry and Jenny, and ditched Liz if they really needed to. Indeed. It just bothers me that Jenny isn't involved, I don't mind Katona coming along. I don't know why I feel sorry for Frost, but I do! I believe they've said that she couldn't do it as she's pregnant - as if she wouldn't do anything for a bit of cash and some exposure on ITV2. Lisa Scott Lee was nice to her, anyway.
