MOVE over Julia Roberts, step aside Nicole Kidman because golden girls as old as 91 are once more going to pose for a money-spinning movie calendar.

It's been lights, camera, action for Age Concern pensioners in the shoot for next year's glossy product.

Last year's spoof film calendar, featuring such cinematic delights as Top Gran and Full Metal Granny sold a whopping 300 copies in Wyre Forest alone to raise £2,502 towards a new minibus.

Now Age Concern's Kidderminster branch hopes to push this year's publication in branches countywide in the quest for another vehicle - priced £30,000.

Admin support officer Paul Bourne, who conceived the idea, said this year's shoot had been a hoot.

Pensioners such as Eve Townes, aged 91, from the Spennells estate, Kidderminster, have been basking in the spotlight.

"Following last year's success, we've had plenty of willing volunteers. The ladies have certainly enjoyed themselves.

"Working titles this year include Swinging in the Rain, The Crocks from Fame and Starsky and Crutch."

On a serious note, Mr Bourne stressed financial help is needed to print this year's effort in colour, at a cost of £3,500.

"We've been going to companies and we're also planning some collections," he said.

"We've only raised a couple of hundred quid so far though, so we have a long way to go."

If all goes to plan the keen photographer, who has taken snaps for this year's calendar in locations as diverse as Kidderminster Fire Station and HMS Warrior in Portsmouth, hopes the publication will hit the shelves by autumn.

And if last year's success is anything to go by, the star-struck grannies will once again adorn walls worldwide.

"Because of various relatives, we had calendars sent to Canada, Australia and Switzerland," said Mr Bourne.

"We were also featured on the BBC which ended up with an order coming in from Tennessee in the States."

Hello, we're the Old Spice Girls!

EILEEN Halyszyn may have refrained from fighting her Age Concern colleagues Kill Bill-style for a place in this year's spoof-tastic fund-raising calendar, but that doesn't mean she isn't keen.

The 69-year-old (pictured far right, below) is filled with excitement at making her debut as a Spice Gran in the alternative take on the sensational WI calendar which prompted the recent smash hit Brit flick Calendar Girls.

The Hartlebury lass managed to resist the urge last year but jumped aboard the bandwagon for the 2005-2006 hair-net-raiser after a nudge from organiser Paul Bourne.

"He's great and I think he persuaded me by asking me how I fancied being a supermodel," said the pensioner, of Lowe Hill, who bears an uncanny resemblance to her calendar alter ego, Posh Spice.

"I thought I might as well give it a go and it's been such a good laugh.

"We don't know which month we'll be yet but I'm hoping for October, for my birthday, or January, for my late husband's."

Fans of the quirky calendar not only have the chance to see Eileen in her full glory as pouting Posh, but cast their eyes on a dead ringer of Starsky and Hutch's chariot - the pensioner's Rover.

Things have certainly looked up for Eileen, a former British Rail clerk, after joining Age Concern Kidderminster in 2002.

"My nurse introduced me when I wasn't too well and I've been with them two years now, going to lunches and outings and things like that," she said.

"I've met lots of people in the same position as me and having recently being made a widow, I'm so glad of their support."
