Oasis V Blur The Rematch














Britpop rivals Oasis and Blur are set to go head to head again in a sensational telly special.

Beeb bosses are plotting a reunion clash between the two bands as part of a special episode of hit quiz show The Weakest Link.

More than a decade after their feud at the height of Britpop, telly chiefs are in talks with Gallagher brothers Liam, 35, and Noel, 40, and their old chart rivals Damon Albarn, 40, and Alex James, 39.

And they want to draft in a string of other top names for the pop music showdown.

Their hit-list includes Suede’s Brett Anderson, 40, Elastica’s Justine Frischmann, 38, Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, 44, and Manic Street Preachers frontman James Dean Bradfield, 38.

Also wanted are Shed Seven star Rick Witter, 35, and Gaz Coombes, 31, from Supergrass. A BBC source said the show was in the early planning stages, but added: “If we can pull this off it would be unbelievable.

“It’s been over a decade since this lot have even been in the same room as each other.

“To see them lined up next to one another with Queen of Mean Anne Robinson giving them stick would be amazing. It’s sure to ignite old rivalries, which would be TV gold.

“Noel admits he’s a Weakest Link fan.”

The Britpop war erupted in 1995, with Oasis releasing the single Roll With It and Blur issuing Country House on the same day.
