Are The Spice Girls too seasoned for a comeback?

The Spice Girls announced they were reuniting for a 25-date world tour. But it is a decade since their heyday - should they bother? We consulted travellers at St Pancras station in London, where they filmed the video for their first number one, 'Wannabe'

Is Sporty going to be in the line-up? She was my favourite. I would see them play. But only if it isn't too expensive.

Jill Rollins, 54

NURSING TEAM MANAGER

They were very vibrant and exciting in their day. But they can't improve upon what they have done. They are women now.

Janet Shekhtmeyster, 22

ANALYST

I loved '2 Become 1' and the red-haired one was my favourite. It isn't something that I would go out of my way to see now.

Richard Rollins, 69

RETIRED

I watch their videos sometimes and I've always liked Ginger Spice. But unless they come up with some new material, then it is just nostalgia.

Victoria Fridman, 23

ACCOUNTANT

They were really good back in the 1990s and I don't think they're too old to give it another go. I really loved 'Wannabe'.

Peter Kauffer, 57

SURVEYOR

I am not at all interested in whether they reform. It is just something to fill the news. They just all want to make a bit more money.

Ashley Broyles, 22

ADMINISTRATOR

It is completely ridiculous. They had their time and they should just let it lie now. I was a fan before, but too much time has gone by.

Gosta Liljeholm, 26

PSYCHOLOGIST

It is good that they are reforming. I went to see one of their concerts in Stockholm before and it was very fun. It was all a very long time ago now.

Harmony Boucher, 20

MUSICIAN

I'm really happy about it. It will be a good old-fashioned 1990s knees-up. People are scared to admit that they want this to happen.

Michael Branney, 21

STUDENT

They are probably only after the money I think. Well, apart from Victoria, that is. I do really like Victoria. But only because of her looks, though.
