None knew Show Business like ETHEL! 💐 💐. NEVER another to equal her! 🏆 At one time, I believe there was a group of 🏳️‍🌈 men who had a drill team marching in parades. I think it was called ETHELING!

Fantastic x

I'm back again. Jean was such an accomplished actor. I don't think anybody in the business could've portrayed the role of Hilda as well as Jean. It seems to me (never missed an episode until 1998 when I stopped watching the show) that Hilda's exit was always the beginning of Corrie's down fall. Corrie was never the same after she left. May you always rest in peace.

What liars. They were so in love since 1986. Just kept it a secret because he was still married to chrissy

Croydon 😂😂😂

Love is deaf as well as blind........

Most of Thingummyjig is wiped expect the very last eps from 1983. Anything from before that is VHS copies sent back in.

Beautiful singing, hard to imagine this is really two men.

Surprise surprise! A video with an older Cilla singing this!

This needs to be more widely appreciated. I’m not sure what the most scary part is, homely Cilla kind of going a bit Cougar or just how unsteady she looked on that bike!

10:24 The mark of a great show is when an actor calls their co-star 'Carol' instead of 'Cath' halfway through the series and no one in production or at home notices or cares. Quality

Edna ate Sue for breakfast 😂

les dennis total crap every impression has the same useless squeeky voice attached

Its a good job, at the time, that they were women. They would never have made it. The BBC has covered that agenda for longer than most people realise. Is it funny? Was it the decline. yes because women arent funny. OK they are. But rarely is the truth.

I'm that little girl with blonde curls sitting on Dads lap. Still have the little teddy. 40 years later

Hilda and stan made coronation street

Heaven is having the best party with Clive James, Margarita, and Lily right now! RIP ❤

Love this

Mari Wilson's first single! A great find..

Just majestic

Cada vez mejor!!!la experiencia hace al maestro!!!

She should have accepted it and spoke and dressed as Hilda !!!!

As someone who has only discovered these two at the ripe old age of 31, they really were from a golden age of entertainment and cabaret.

Young Cilla could really sing but this is atrocious. She sounds like a cat on fire and at the ending of the song she does a great impression of a fire alarm to go with it!

😅😅😅😂😂❤❤

Unbridled, innocent joy/hilarity. It was the highlight of my Sunday night. lol “Margarita Pracataaaan!” “I love you Clive James!” 😆

That was a joy to watch. Cilla doing her duet dance, as I call it, she did pretty much the same steps when she sang with Dusty Springfield!

I loved how Richard Gere immediately kissed Dame Edna. Lauren Bacall was just, "Wait, what is this?" Hahahaha. Just lovely.

Make it stop.

Has he gone senile. Brilliant I miss the old corrie when it was funny

Stephanie Beacham didn't look impressed.

Love and admire them

Love them.

I was backstage at the Theatre Royal Drury lane and watching them rehearse a whole host of stars were performing. I loved doing the Royal Variety in 1979

This is the BEST live version Cilla did of this song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWfHo3doiKiqfqc

As 80's ITV sitcoms (most were awful) this isnt half bad. Surprised it didnt get a second series

She was awful

Do you know what episode this was from? such a cool clip

I couldn't help noticing the middle aged and elderly audience and how they dressed. Remember seeing them all like that years back. What a contrast to how elderly people look and dress now. WTF happened? They all look like raggedy, tattooed, pink haired effalumps trying to outdo each other on the lefty progressive front.😮

Further to my last comment fantastic we all get older wished they could still do a performance again Naoli and Aluson it was great seeing you both

HILDA OGDEN RETURNS! (ITV Telethon 1990) 1332pm 15.10.24 80p... it's probably more than that on the clock before you begin yer journey.

Lol reading some of these comments. Is there anyone besides me who genuinely thinks she sang this well.

Is it just me or does Brian look younger here? Ah, the spirit of being in love...

I was 11 when this first aired. My brother and I used to sing it to each other because it was so unspeakably bad. I have just WhatsApped him

Loved it! I’d look forward to this on the weekends as a teen! 🥰

This was probably 1 of the last great true Royal Variety Performances back when they still used to know how to do them! The right staging the right venue every aspect of it as they used to be and worthy of watching - LWT at its finest.

"PRACATAAAAN! I LUB YOU! AYEEEEE!!" What a champion she was, the extraordinary Margarita!

Cilla Black was so much more than just hosting Blind Date. She was a gem.

Briliáns you Anita Dobson

"Brr dah dah" 😂😂😂
