Cilla

Part 3 next week

Blind Date years

I prefer her singing...myself

Is it just me, or is there something unlikeable about cilla black? don't get her one bit anyway

sadly only two parts, finished now

You had me worried ebul.
Great viewing and like you took me back to my youth.

I think it was the good sense of the 60's I liked probably...

She is not my favourite now

I think the girl playing Cilla is better than Cilla

Sheridan Smith is class.

unlike her rather portly father cyril

bit

I think the girl playing Cilla is better than Cilla

Sheridan Smith is picking up some praise for that performance

Tommy smith was class

never rated cilla,even epstein wouldn't ride her

n hard

It's been an excellent series, very well acted and captures the feeling of the era exceedingly well.

Sheridan excels in everything she appears in.

Agreed Kenny Mann. She is a very talented lady. Brilliant as Cilla,  - and what a voice ! Excellent series, captures the spirit of the early 60 's very well. Guaranteed BAFTA winner.

She's just a few inches too short which  but she can't help that.

delete *which.

I agree with interest. cilla black looks like a man dressed up imo. would not take her out even in thick fog...

Vile individual cilla black,can't stand the woman so transparent as a horrible individual..

Very enjoyable piece of telly and  fully in agreement about Sheridan Smith.A truly brilliant actress who never fails to deliver unlike Wrexham who let me down for a chunk last night....bastaaards.

"Is it just me, or is there something unlikeable about cilla black ?"

back then she was just a Liverpool girl who was so determined to become a star......but then she changed ! 

But this 3-part drama is excellent and Sheridan Smith is so watchable.  Cilla in the 60s when she was natural and likeable was very different to the person she is now.

Sheridan Smith is a class act and the only reason I'm watching.

Nicely summed up Hound-Dog-2.

Sheridan was in a drama with another excellent actor David Morrisey about a year ago. It was very good although I can't think of the name. If it's on youtube it's well worth watching.

Here it is. Definately worth watching if you missed it.

and there's a cat in it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDDamdX0OE4  sheridan fighting smithy makes me p1ss meself.  Not watching any of this cilla nonsense.  Wish she'd fk off back to her beloved liverpool the wailing carrot topped scouse bint.

The only carp thing she's been in was 2 pints of lager.

exellent,she will get bafta,the gay club should have been cut though.

agreed, it was a bit over the top.

Wasn't that  Cliff shown in the background ?
I believe it was that Club

Cilla is not a very nice person. Not many of her friends are Liverpudlians.

sheridan smith had the same dad in the royle family

John Henshaw. Brilliant actor. Wonderful as the landlord of The Grapes in the classic series Early Doors. One of the best comedy series ever made imo.

I know someone who regularly came into contact with "Our Cilla" in business class and by far she was the biggest bitch he ever had the misfortune of serving.Eye contact was not allowed,had to speak through one of her apologists and always demanded a certain seat.A certain pilots website tells you all you need to know,i think earlier this year she won some lifetime award on ITV and it took the room 5 minutes to stand,vile woman.

Brilliant programme. Pickles!

enjoyed reading that ken

seems Cilla and Geldof come out easily the worst two in a packed field

or just, easily the worst 

It's nice to have an opinion confirmed, to be sure. Cilla, along with Brucie, is an example of, to me, completely unfathomable popularity. Brucie just hasn't been caught yet.

Scouse cloak room bird who got lucky.
Not good looking.
Can't sing.   
With no Beatles she'd never have made it.

She's up there with Jimmy Nail.

born in Liverpool. Priscilla white wanted to become famous so she changes her name to cilla black. a lot of thought went into that eh? we put more thought into our usernames for this forum imo.

Brilliant link that, Ken.
A jolly good read. Some of the names and descriptions seemed to be no surprise, imo.

apparently on a flight a cabin crew member was so annoyed with"our cillas "behaviour he leaned over to tell her " I knew you couldn't sing but I didn't know you couldn't feckin speak as well"...

she wouldn't give you the steam off her pi$$

I enjoyed the last episode tonight, so glad someone told me it did not finish last week

Difficult to imagine ay female will top Sheridan's Smith's performance this year

We saw the sadness in Brian Epstein's life

I know I give gays a hard time now, but only because they nicked marriage, give it back we are all square

But I could empathise with Brian Epstein, he found sex but no love, and never overcame
his own disgust at himself...even though he should not have had it, it was ok with me
He was a good man

^ a lot of sadness in Epstein's life.  But he was a good man and a very clever man.  The Beatles were rejected by almost all major recording companies in London, before Brian discovered and signed them in Liverpool in 1962.

And when it was obvious that Cilla Black's singing career was coming to an end, it was Epstein who suggested she should go into TV shows, eventuually she took the advice and became one of the highest paid stars on TV. 

The Beatles would never have made it so big without Epstein, and very unlikely Cilla would have either. He was a very clever man, but privately as you say never overcame his own disgust at himself.

^ good post

havent seen it but was it before the nose job?

The programme made you realise how lucky Cilla was.

cilla is very good singing the randy newman penned "ive been wrong before" before the nose job btw

My daughter appeared in episode 3 as an extra (or background artist as they like to style themselves)

She said Sheridan Smith is a real class act, happy to mingle and have a laugh with everyone, and a real pro when called upon.

Unlike the person she portrayed so it seems.

indeed!
