Video teaser for doc about Roger Corman's doomed Fantastic Four film

Video teaser for upcoming mini-series about singer Cilla Black

Britain's ITV has produced a three-part docu-drama focused on the life of Liverpool singer Cilla Black.

Perhaps best known to an American audience as the singer of Lennon/McCartney and Burt Bacharach songs during the British beat boom, Cilla began her career singing at the Cavern Club with the Beatles, was signed up by their manager Brian Epstein, and then their record label Parlophone, and recorded at Abbey Road with George Martin. With great success, including the theme song to the Michael Caine movie Alfie. 

...So a trailer for Cilla, a dramatic recreation of those early years, starring Gavin & Stacey’s Sheridan Smith (with fake teeth), is bound to be of interest, especially to Beatles nuts, because look who’s there in the Cavern with her:
