Cilla - Brilliant !
19 Answers
I know I am late on this subject, but I have just caught up with the series "Cilla" which is being shown again on the ITV Encore channel.
While I grew up in the 1960s I was not a fan of Cilla Black so was not interested in watching it when it was first shown a month or so back.
But having watched it now I have to say how excellent it is.
Sheridan Smith is totally stunning as Cilla, there are times when you think you are watching Cilla Black.
Great to see early shots of the (pretend) Cavern club, the Beatles (and other groups), Brian Epstein, George Martin etc. and how the music scene in the North West took over the world for a while.
But is also captures the whole atmosphere of the 1960s so well: the clothes, the cars, the hairstyles, the music, the jobs, the attitudes about life, religion and gay people.
I am a pretty hardened 65 year old man, but I have to say there were some scenes in the program that brought a lump to my throat and almost a tear to my eye.
Even if you have no interest in Cilla Black then do try and watch it if it is on again, if only for Sheridan Smith's performance.

However Dudley keeps making her laugh so they ruin the song somewhat, but still a nice clip.
Hope the link works as it is not YouTube but Dailymotion web site.
