Priscilla White is a typist from a working class area of Liverpool who dreams of stardom; Bobby Willis is the chancer who ignores the city's Protestant-Catholic divide to pursue her; Brian Epstein is the young genius who will later guide The Beatles to superstardom. Starring Sheridan Smith Cilla tells the true story of how the lives of these three intertwine to propel Cilla to the top of the charts and beyond... but at a cost. Cilla Black, as young Priscilla becomes, displays a ruthless streak that won't allow anything or anyone--including Bobby--to stand in her way. Epstein is tortured by his success and his sexuality--forced to keep his homosexuality hidden in an era when to be caught with another man could mean prison.Set to an explosion of 60s music as the 'Merseybeat' sounds grips the country, Cilla explores the humble beginnings and little-known early years of a woman who went on to become an iconic TV star and household name.DVD ExtrasMaking of an Icon

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.
