This supercut of Cilla Black’s shoutouts from the end of ‘Surprise Surprise’ is a nostalgic delight
Twitter user @chiefbrody1984 has uploaded a supercut of Cilla Black‘s shoutouts from the closing segment of ‘Surprise Surprise’, the ITV light entertainment programme which ran from 1984 – 2001.
It was hugely popular back in the day and it was the programme on which The Spice Girls made their live debut (1996). It also featured many celebrities and personalities who were very much of their time and it’s strangely compelling to hear Terry Nutkins mentioned along with The Beach Boys.
Let’s take a look…
Supercut of Cilla’s shoutouts from the end of Surprise Surprise is truly the most frenetically bonkers collection of names from the lightest of light entertainment.

Ahh I was having a terrible day/week and this has made me laugh. I lost it at 'Showaddywaddy" and it kept getting funnier. Excellent work!
