Cilla
Watched DVD in New Zealand as not been shown over here yet. Absolutely brilliant portrayal by Sheridan Smith as Cilla Black and her early life and career to becoming a 60's pop icon. Sheridan has a fantastic singing voice and the setting around the Liverpool scene of the 60's couldn't be better. Good to find out the real relationship between Cilla and Bobby, her husband to be, and Brian Epstein. Highly recommended viewing

Sheridan Smith is outstanding in this quality three part drama
Having also been a Cilla fan since way back when, I approached this series with a certain amount of trepidation but, having just watched the final episode, I have to say my fears were completely unfounded. I absolutely loved it and Sheridan Smith was outstanding, as was her singing.
