No Rock And Roll Fun

THEY'RE GETTING OLD NOW, AREN'T THEY?: It's the 125th anniversary of Blackpool illuminations this year, so they had to work hard to find a celebrity who can remember the first time they were on. Luckily, Geri Halliwell was free that night. No, of course she's not really that old, but she was a good choice - she used to bring lots of pleasure to people in a simple way many years ago, but now does seem like a remnant of a happier time.

Mind you, the lights people should worry - BBC North West Tonight couldn't even scrape up an interview with Geri and had to make do with interviewing, erm, Corinne Drewery out of Swing Out Sister.
