What did Cilla do on a BA flight?Easy game. One celebrity who was absolutely lovely, one who was shit. Don't need a lot of detail and hopefully @Bozza can't get sued.
Example
Molly Sugden
Lovely - source, local newspaper photographer
Cilla Black
Shit - source British Airways air crew
(God we need this City game desperately )
When you find out, it'll be a real surprise surprise...What did Cilla do on a BA flight?

No danger of libelling the dead, so it’s widely known Cilla was an absolutely awful person to be around in those heady days of being alive. She got through 7 PA’s in a year at one point.What did Cilla do on a BA flight?

I don’t have my own personal story about her, despite working in the biz (she was before my time thankfully) but colleagues have described her as an absolute tyrant and deeply unpleasant person.
My mate Bob remembers Cilla from when she worked as a hat check girl at the original Cavern.What did Cilla do on a BA flight?
Fair play!Come on JC, you must have a lovely and a shit
Fair play!
Dame Judi Dench. I was covering stage sound for a friend, so was crouching in the wing next to the mic monitors. Dame Judi stands beside me waiting in the wings for her entrance, looks down and sees a very nervous young man crouching at knee level.
“Oh, you’re new! Where’s (my friend)?”
“Oh um, I’m sorry… I..”… (I panicked). She let out a little giggle and said “hold that thought”. Then went on and did her scene, came back and had a ten minute conversation with me in the wing while I neglected my duty. It was a bit like being spoken to by the Queen, it overrides protocol.
She asked me how I was, about my family, my ambitions. Genuinely interested in other people and thoroughly disarming. And of course a wonderful actress.
Don’t often get starstruck but you were in the presence of a star who was also a wonderful woman.
Beverley Craven, who I’d never heard of, making everyone absolutely miserable at a charity event hosted by Adam Virgo at the Grand. Absolute nightmare and made two of my young (volunteer) staff cry.That's good, I like her and would be really disappointed if she wasn't lovely
And the shit ?
Evening.What did Cilla do on a BA flight?
Have a cabin crew mate who confirms she was shitehouse.Evening.
She was legendary rude and was the subject of many a thread on the airlines industry version of NSC.
Having scouse in laws who were around in the 60s, not that well liked up there either.
