Douglas Thompson

Cilla Black is a survivor. Daughter of a market trader from Liverpool, she has become a major showbusiness name since those heady Beatle days when Liverpool was the world's pop culture capital and John Lennon introduced her to Brian Epstein. After a successful music career she reinvented herself as presenter of BLIND DATE. Today she is one of the most powerful and best loved women in television, the ratings superstar of terrestrial tv in the UK. Yet her fans would be surprised to discover that the real Cilla can be very different to her glitzy public persona - ambitious, complex, very private. Her strong relationship with husband/manager Bobby and the importance she places on her family is the key to it all. In CILLA BLACK - BOBBY'S GIRL Douglas Thompson details the excitements, tragedies and triumphs of Priscilla White, the woman who leapt to fame thirty years ago. He also reveals behind-the-scenes gossip about what really goes on amongst the contestants of BLIND DATE and looks at the ingredients that have launched the show - and Cilla - into the record books of television.
