By TOM GUTTERIDGE THE scenery needs ironing, I said as I watched the playback in our edit suite in Newcastle. "Look, there are creases all over the curtain and you can see footmarks on the floor at the back." I saw the word in high definition for the first time last week.

FORMER Coronation street crimper Nikki Sanderson cut a fine figure as Cilla Black as she zoomed into Liverpool for the premiere of a new music video.

CILLA Black stole the show when she took to the catwalk in aid of Naomi Campbell's Fashion For Relief. The Blind Date host sashayed down the catwalk to the sounds of her own hit Anyone Who Had A Heart - dressed in an Yves St Laurent top hat, shirt and tails and little else.

YOUNGSTERS queued around the block for their chance to step into the spotlight in a show billed as Britain's number one panto. The Empire Theatre yesterday held open auditions for children's roles in its spectacular Christmas production Cinderella.

THE streets of Liverpool came alive in an explosion of colour, music and dance for new music video, 'Cilla Black's TV'. Coronation Street actress Nikki Sanderson, who also appears in Heartbeat, was dramatically transformed into a 1960's Cilla for the shoot of pop singer Rob Ellis's debut single.
