Cilla Black commenced her eminent career as a TV host in 1968 on the BBC on the back of her first number one hit single, Anyone Who Had a Heart, which was the biggest-selling UK hit by a female singer in the 1960s. This tribute compilation celebrates the BBC's coverage of her years on programmes like Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's Not Only...But Also, The Ken Dodd Show, Top of the Pops and The Royal Variety Performance. Also included are extracts from the self-titled series she hosted for the BBC between 1968 and 1976, including the Paul McCartney-penned theme song Step Inside Love and a 1973 duet with Marc Bolan on Life's A Gas.
Sinatra: All or Nothing at All
10.00 pm BBC 4
Episode two of the Beeb's masterly examination of the life, music and career of the legendary entertainer. In 1971, Frank Sinatra sang his legendary 'retirement concert' in Los Angeles, featuring music which was said to reflect his own life. This has been the useful starting point for the four-part series which is told in his own words from hours of archived interviews, along with commentary from those closest to him. The beautifully-crafted programmes weave the songs he chose with comments from friends and family, with home movies and concert performances also.
