Cilla's Surprise Surprise 2003

Cilla Black hosting Surprise Surprise 20th Anniversary Special in 2003.
This episode was never transmitted at the time due to Cilla's resignation from ITV.
This was the final episode of Surprise Surprise that Cilla ever hosted.
Some of the music performances from Gareth Gates and Westlife have had to be edited out, as well as the final montage of clips which included music from S Club 7.

Then ITV re-booted it, and it was a load of shite. Never the same without the outro theme song from Cilla.

RIP

[@itsafridayonceagain7192]

The way she bursts into song just after the family got reunited feels a bit wrong to me

[@white1943]

I wouldve dressed my kids a bit better if they were on national tv

[@leesimmons9091]

Do anyone notice that when the people get picked they always r sitting on the end of the row, why no one from the middle

[@orcaswaling1143]

Speed, so they can get to the floor quickly instead of falling, fumbling or high fiving people

[@leesimmons9091]

So it's all fixed then

[@zee7752]

@@leesimmons9091 Cilla knows their names, all their info, their family are waiting in the wings. Just good luck, I think. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@MatgoStyles]

​@@leesimmons9091 What, you thought Cilla was just picking people at random?​

[@JsoldierEats]

Before Gareth gates was not relevant anymore

[@MatgoStyles]

The production on this episode looked so cheap. The set (or what there is of it) looks cobbled together from items bought at The Range and the new edits to the opening titles look lens flare-tastic.

[@jamesmartin3399]

Yes. I agree. I also note Cilla stood and waved for a very long period of time at the end of this show, where she would normally walk-off and wave. I guess she knew that this would be her very last Surprise Surprise. Agree on the set - it looks awful!

[@philollenberg]

Any why would they put all that text OVER Cilla; like, have her to the side, don't put text over the star.

[@graceygal2664]

@@jamesmartin3399 the set was re used from a game show

[@graceygal2664]

Certainly a bit low budget but the surprised were still good

[@muk8804]

Defo. I bet Granada , who bought LWT and removed all regional channel references/branding apart from production endcaps (at this stage ) had destroyed the set and thus had to cobble-together a new one. Cilla definitely seems subdued here. Does make me wonder that if LWT hadn't been bought out, would they have carried on with the show as normal, revamping it every few years, as had been done previously. The title music (with minor saxophone embellishments) was 21 years old by this stage !

[@jameskeeth4037]

Think this is live singing

[@tomtaylor4066]

Yuk

[@zanducktv2398]

Cilla’s dangly cuff things are distracting and irritating.

[@Silenced23]

She's spending her retirement years in the ground in a beautiful graveyard on the country side!!

[@wendylynch1443]

This isn’t surprise surprise

[@anicetune]

It's not Surprise Surprise, it's Surprise Surprise.
