After days of speculation, Pinky and Perky have finally announced they will be reuniting to play a series of concerts across the UK. Tickets go on sale on Saturday, and demand is expected to be high among excited fans who have waited decades for the sensational singing duo to reunite.


Pinky and Perky were massively successful during the 1950s and 60s, before their shock split in 1971 following an altercation backstage at Blackpool’s North Pier Theatre. Pinky explained a few years later that during an argument, Perky had tried to attack him with an 8-track recorder.

Brian Smethurst, from Bognor Regis, who has been watching University Challenge since its first episode in 1962, admitted today he has still to answer even one single question correctly. Yet this hasn't dampened his enthusiasm for the show.


He said: 'I once thought I'd actually cracked in 1981, when I said Caravaggio was an Italian motor scooter... but turned out it was an espresso machine.'


Brian's wife Delia commented: 'Bless him. He loves it and even has a tattoo of original question master, Bamber Gascoigne, on his left buttock. He's vowed to have one of Amol Rajan on the other side should he finally succeed.'


Meanwhile Brian's quest goes on, although Delia isn't holding out much hope for her hapless husband. 'I can't see him ever doing it, because so far he's spent over twenty thousand pounds entering those competitions on ITV and he's yet to get even one of those answers right.'
