Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders were seen in the early hours of this morning in a short skit produced for '2000 Today', BBC Television's marathon 28-hour coverage of the Millennium celebrations of the world.
French & Saunders adopted the part of two performers at the Millennium Dome's Body Zone. They were dressed as human eggs, in spheres embellished with, er, 'tadpoles'. Appearing with them was Joan Bakewell, the presenter of the ethics and moral debate programme 'Heart of the Matter'.
Bakewell stole the show (and no doubt surprised a few people) by breaking into a performance of pop terrorists Steps' hit song '5, 6, 7, 8'.
