Well, it IS space related and Peter Noone is a good friend, so here goes.

On July 26th, Turner Classic Movies is going to air two Herman's Hermits movies from the 1960's. One of the movies is "Hold On!" and will air at 2:45pm (Eastern). Below is a synopsis and yes, the movie does co-star Shelley Fabres and Sue Ane Langdon:

When the children of American astronauts vote to name a new spaceship after Herman's Hermits, NASA assigns scholarly Edward Lindquist to follow the British singing group to ascertain if they are worthy of such recognition. Included among the thousands of screaming young girls pursuing the Hermits is Cecilie Bannister, a publicity-minded movie starlet. In Los Angeles, Herman and his group slip away from the protective Lindquist for an evening of fun at an amusement park. There Herman meets attractive Louisa Page, who invites him to a lawn party her mother is giving for charity. The affair nearly turns into a riot when the Hermits begin to sing and Cecilie and a swarm of teenagers crash through the police gates. The Hermits' concert at the Rose Bowl is such a huge success that NASA decides to name a spaceship after them.
Don't say no one didn't warn you ahead of time!

Quite right that a spacecraft should be named after a Manchester band! After all, there have already been spacecraft called "Oasis"...

All times are CT (US)
