June Whitfield and Roy Hudd star as an aging show-business couple who get a second stab at fame in - the new millennium.
Like They've Never Been Gone 11.30am R4 FM
A timely return in Eurovision week for the show that offers hope for all those nul-pointers from Saturday evening: you never know when the spotlight will beckon a second time. Roy Hudd and June Whitfield are once again absolutely splendid as Tommy Franklin and Sheila Parr, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1964 but who have, since then, tended to live down to their potential. Until, that is, Chico Cola uses their hit record on a television commercial, at which point Tommy and Sheila, the one-hit wonders whose money had almost run out, find themselves once more in demand. The question is though, can it last? (Peter Barnard)
