Liam Gallagher and chums

TFI Friday is back for what is, effectively, its reunion gig this week. But will it be good TFI Friday, where you'd get a decent band and something inventive? Or will it be bad TFI Friday, when it had passed the point that it had forgotten it had viewers and approached its tasks with an attitude of 'if we're having fun, then the audience will enjoy us having fun, right?'

Your finger is hovering over the Record button.

But which will it be?

Which will it be, NME?

TFI Friday will return for a one-off live special at 9pm next Friday (June 12), hosted by Chris Evans. A TFI spokesman recently confirmed to The Sun that Gallagher and Daltrey will perform 'My Generation' as part of a supergroup featuring The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie and former Oasis drummer (and Ringo Starr's son) Zak Starkey.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

Suddenly, Kate Humble living with nomads on BBC2 seems very compelling indeed.

Oasis split

Not entirely - but one of the hired hands has fallen out with Noel Gallagher and gone into internal exile. And - oh, sweet pain - it's the most Beatley of them all, drummer Zak Starkey.

We're given to understand he left, but not before sliding a message "I'll get help and come back for you" under Andy Bell's door.

Noel Gallagher's not going to be happy

It was bad enough that Country House beat Roll With It. Now, one of Blur has gone and made a record with Paul Weller. And to add to the insult, Zak Starkey is doing the drumming on Graham Coxon and Weller's This Old Town. All that's missing is getting Liam to do the tambourining. Can't Noel have his friends ankle-tagged or something?

Coming next month: Andy Bell helps Dave Rowntree deliver Labour Party newsletters.
