Cilla'S Comedy Six: The Complete Series (1975) (DVD)

Marking a phenomenally successful fifty years in showbiz, this DVD set celebrates the talents of Cilla Black, one of Britain's most charismatic and best-loved celebrities. In Cilla's Comedy Six, the Liverpudlian singer and comedienne dipped a toe into the world of acting in a series of humorous vignettes in which she portrayed a range of female roles. From Mrs. Average Housewife (mid-'70s style) to a temp fending off the amorous advances of her latest boss, from a woman caring for her widowed father to a round-the-world yachtswoman, Cilla's versatility and mischievous, warm humour shine through in a range of everyday (and not so everyday!) heroines who combine tenacity, resourcefulness and wit. Originally screened in 1975, a time when Cilla was making the transition from successful singer to TV celebrity, Cilla's Comedy Six is available here for the first time. Its companion series - Cilla's World of Comedy - is also available.
