Cilla Black - She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain (Full Version 1989)

[@jameskvo]

Ethel made sure her granddaughters were written out of her will after this

[@emperorpalpatine783]

hahahahahahahahahaha it's cheesy and embarrassing as fuk lol

[@BigAlCapwn]

Ethel didn't seem too chuffed about having to spend a whole day with Cilla Black sat on a train

[@callresponserecords9316]

Cilla and the production team legit got arrested for this....I'm not kidding. The old woman had dementia and they essentially kidnapped her from professional care 😳🤣😂

[@edp3202]

​@@callresponserecords9316they did?

[@callresponserecords9316]

@edp3202 Totally true mate 👍

[@intelligenceofacertainkind]

Who would?

[@tomlibooe]

Ethels smile at 0:22 says it all, just you wait till we get back home...then I'll let you know what I really think of you for making me spend the day, with Cilla, on a train!

[@dannorth3138]

"she will be huffing and puffing when she comes" poor Ethel, she wasn't used to that type of excitement...

[@gregbarratt7161]

Legend has it Cilla held Ethel hostage and wouldn't let her escape until she sang to her. Those 'male singers' (who were actually on day release from HM Prison Cardiff at the time) were there to make sure the job was done smoothly.

[@marceastment]

This beats putting on the Yoko Ono CDs when you want your guests to leave.

[@Jerram89]

Yeah but you cringe at this with a smile because it’s camp. You cringe at Yoko with a grimace because it’s horrible.

[@StuK323]

Cilla was an absolute Menace to Society!

[@kalonborden61]

Im telling my kids that this was the Taking of Pelham 123.

[@obiwankenobi687]

1:23 The way she says ‘and a blowin’ triggers my fight or flight

[@YourOwnDa]

are you Limmy?

[@djmurray6152]

Ethel wanted to be at home with the heating on and for everyone to leave her alone

[@martinwithers2486]

Poor Ethel

[@jamielashmar3224]

😂😂

[@cannedham8630]

Ethel looks thrilled 😂😂

[@nightw4tchman]

0:03 "You're going to spend the whole day with us" Met with a look of "oh ffs"

[@jamiearan]

When boomers tell you tv was better in their day, send them this!

[@32446]

It really was though 😂

[@terrestrialchannel4103]

And prove them right??

[@stephenowens3687]

Apart from this atrocity- it was! Lmao!

[@smithfield06]

I am generation x tv back then was woeful

[@zeddeka]

​@@32446every era has its share of shit TV. The 1980s was absolutely no exception. There was a hell of a lot of utter junk on TV back then

[@ThyArchAngel11]

No one prepared me for the choir at the station. I can't breathe.

[@siwandavies1911]

Ethel was my great grandmother. My mum is the blond teenager

[@connc]

Please tell us more

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

Did they mention their day out with cilla lol?

[@dichi3163]

"You're gonna get your coat on🤩🤩" Ethel: bloody fck crumpets

[@bentarbuck6161]

I'm not sure who had more fun, me or ethel! what a wild ride that was

[@FranciscoChile77]

Thank you TikTok and IG for such discovering on past UK TV.😂😂😂😂

[@jamesswindley9599]

When your aunt has just too much baileys… 😂😂

[@edbosworth3871]

This is the future the right wants.

[@michaelforster5106]

This video has had me doubled over laughing. Poor Ethel having to be subjected to that!

[@ExtraIceCube]

Picking on an elderly lady needing happy pills to get through the day is not how I'd expect to see Cilla.

[@stephenowens3687]

I was singing this for 2 days afterwards! Wife thought id lost my marbles!

[@Jerram89]

aye yai yippie

[@obiwankenobi687]

This is what everyone’s made to watch when they enter the gates of hell

[@aod.1]

Ethel looks pissed at the prospect of spending a full day of her life with Cilla Black going round the mountains on a steam train

[@barkboingfloom]

John McClane: Aye-aye-yippy-yippy-aye, mother fu**er!

[@Caroline.01]

the fact that i have a freaking nursery rhyme on repeat baffles my brain

[@zeddeka]

Saturday night TV in the UK has always been what you might politely call "Folksy" (especially ITV). It continued into the 90s with Barrymore and we still have traces of that today with Ant & Dec. Cilla Black was tapping into an older tradition, epitomised by the likes of Gracie Fields in the 1940s. The working class performer doing mawkish, "comedic" light entertainment, paired with a manufactured salt of the earth persona. It rightly got a lot of criticism back then for its patronising sentimentalism, but a lot of working class people loved it. Exactly the type of people who watched Ant & Dec in more recent years.

[@tomkavanagh5719]

Cilla: oh today youre gonna get your coat on and we’re gonna go round the mountains In ethels mind: FML 🤦‍♀️

[@andrewdurman7749]

This is truly horrific

[@adamwatson2914]

[@dominickbellicini8196]

RIP Ethyl, probably

[@ANDCFC95]

This took years off her life

[@Speedbird_Concorde]

She threw herself in front of the train after this.

[@ericdixon2898]

I love this!!

[@charleem]

Only thing that could have made this better is if the old girls teeth had fallen out when she leaned out of the cab.

[@CraigsInkwell]

Perhaps I should I have gone down this route with my KZbin channel 🤣

[@bonzupippinpaddleoxacoppil484]

It’s the British accent doing a southern accent that’s throwing me for a loop. Like Beowulf Copper-kettle playing dr strange.

[@BeckW2012]

Ethel was like oh no help me 😂

[@robbiehen]

1:10 try keep a straight face 😭

[@WiremuWinitana]

It doesn’t seem right watching this without an angry Scottish funnyman, who has an intelligence of a certain kind, in the bottom right corner.

[@Deano-p2b]

Cilla was arrested for kidnap after this video was aired. 2 yr suspended sentence. Smile Ethel, there’s a gun in your back 😂😂😂

[@mitchellgordon8858]

Poor Ethel. I think Cilla had some issues.

[@Jerram89]

If you were in the brass band and enjoyed campy music you’d have loved recording this

[@thecinematicmind]

Iconic Bad

[@ChrisDavis-nl7yu]

Christ almighty, a day with a male vocal choir and Cilla Black is my idea of hell....

Men of Harlech teased at the start

[@smg7337]

GG

[@JoshhMarshh]

Noooo 😂

[@markpieexplores]

This was a hard watch

[@chriscarr4672]

I think ive just had either a seizure or a massive stroke watching this

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

This would work well as a Monty Python sketch too. As it stands it’s got to be one of the naffest things ever shown on television.

[@Pikcast]

Poor Ethal, She looks like she's distressed

[@tonilautamaki7275]

Very british facial expressions.
