That's sad. She gave the impression of someone who was very competently enjoying herself. One of the national treasures has left the stage.

RIP Cilla Black (Priscilla White).

In my opinion a lousy presenter / game show host, but an overall excellent entertainer.

And a thoroughly nice person.

I am truly shocked, she is not that old surely.

RIP indeed.

Ah. Mea Culpa.

Had I the power of soothsaying, clairvoyance, augury or divination I would, of course, have waited for an appropriate thread to arise into which I could post my observation. Failing those I merely started a new thread, there being none at the time.

To be fair, I think they were being created at the same time.

To be fair, I think the timestamps on the original posts is a simple matter of record.

Our Cilla has never been so controversial.......this is what causes wars.

Just merge the blooming threads will you please Spot, and I wont send the boys around.

Put whichever one you like as lead post, I'm sure nobody will care.

As to her game shows, one presumes that the wicked sense of humour which was invariably evident came naturally - it's not something one could script in and pretend to.

She was so important to me as a teenager. I really loved everything about her.

So sad! I never knew that her real name was Priscilla White. One of my all time favorite songs:
