cilla black introduced and closed each show by singing a theme song. the theme song from series one to eight was written by kate robbins and was often imitated by black impersonators, beginning ""the more the world is changing, the more it stays the same..."". the track was included on black's 1985 album "surprisingly cilla", and as a single through towerbell records. a new song was written from series nine until the show's conclusion in 2001: ""reaching out, holding hands, reliving memories... life is full, full of surprises...and the nicest surprise in my life is you!""
