She seems like a genuine sort of person but, like others in the past, I don't believe it was all new to her or her father. They had the photo with the banjos.
I stuck it out to the end but I don't like this concentrating one ancestor and could have done without the time wasted in banjo shops and northern clubs.

I think you've hit the nail on the head - rivetingly interesting for HER because it was her family but pretty uninteresting for the rest of us! I recognised her as soon as I saw her but couldn't have told you her name until now. OC |

Anyone feel inspired by that to learn how to play the banjo?
No, I thought not! Didn't he make the most of his 15 minutes of flirty fame? |

Agrees although I haven't seen this episode it appears to be the new format and I don't like it. What's interesting is who the ancestors are and what the ancestors did but I don't want to see the WDYTYA subject trying to do it too. I want to see a few generations (a mini tree) don't need to flesh it out to much, a bit but not to much because in one hour you can't do that and I want surprises for both the audience and the subject and also a step by step guide on how they got that information. Do I want to much? |

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...lla-Black.html I have always been a fan of Cilla's, especially in the days when we were both young (she is 7 months older than me) and Sheridan Smith could BE the young Cilla, both in looks and voice. I was surprised last night at what a good singer she is (much better than her mother I thought) and she demonstrates that in this trailer too. |

Sheridan Smith is a very talented actress and I am sure will go on to better things. She was in a mini-series playing Charmian, wife to train-robber Ronnie Biggs and before that a sitcom called "Two pints of lager". The trailers for Cilla look excellent. She's also done Hedda Gabler on stage.
*do I get the idea that OC isn't very keen on banjos?*

Banjos, like bagpipes, are ok in very small doses! OC |

A little late picking up this thread - have to say I'm a great Sheridan Smith fan.
She's so versatile. I remember her being cast in the musical version of "Legally Blonde" a couple of years ago & after hearing her sing on WDYTYA I can see why it was thought she could carry a West End show. True, last Thursday's episode was extremely banjo- heavy, but she's so natural & unaffected that I forgave that. A few years ago, when she was James Corden's girlfriend, the two of them were driving back from the north when they took a wrong turn & got lost near here. They called into a local bar for directions & then bought everyone a drink! How lovely is that? |
