What did you think of The One Show? Guest: Cilla Black

The One Show Team | 15:35 UK time, Tuesday, 1 September 2009

Adrian and Christine have returned from their hols. They were joined in the studio by Cilla Black.

Des Coleman was at the International Beatles week celebrations in Liverpool, looking at the truth behind some of the myths surrounding the band.

Lucy Siegle investigated what you should do if your bank mistakes your identity for someone else's.

Is your name unique? Is your name the bane of your life? Adrian and Christine would like to hear more. Tell us about your name here. Please add your genuine first name and location to your comment.

Angellica Bell met two of the The Flying Nightingales, air ambulance nurses whose job was to evacuate injured allied soldiers during WWII.

To mark the 70th anniversary of the start of World War II, The One Show is attempting to reunite friends who met during the war years but lost track of one another. More information about the wartime friends featured on the show, here.

And Miranda Krestovnikoff visited Skomer Island in Wales to learn about the migration habits of a thriving puffin colony.

    why is it that it is our responsibility to check what information is held about us? half the time i dont want or have any choice that this information is held about me... surely these companies who want to sell our details should be responsible enough to check they have the right information? after all it is them that are making money out of this information .

    Why are we celebrating the start of WW2? Surely the only part of a war we should commemorate is the end!

    Never mind checking your credit rating - how do you check that you are the only person with your name?

    dear Adrian and Christine

    My name is Genesta Cope and I believe I am the only Genesta Cope in this Country, I should love to hear of other Genestas, I have been told that I am named after a type of flower the Broom: Genista, and that the Plantagenets were named after the Planta Genista.

    Love the show

    My name is Sarah Porter, it is certainly not unique there are hundreds on sarah porters, of which one in particular has cause a lot of grief! A luck would have it apparently a wellas the same name she has the same birthday and from what I can gather a rubbish idea about paying bills. I had a debt collection agency contact me via letter to demand I pay for an outstanding debt. They added this other persons previous address to my credit report which in turn has led to other letters regarding debt I never totalled the amount but it must be near 3 thousand pounds in total. When trying to sort out the problem the debt collection agency informed me that it was my responsibilty to prove I never lived at the previous address in Brighton (I still don't know how exactly you can prove you've never lived somewhere, if anyone knows how please let me know) It crashed my credit rating which I was always careful to maintain. This woman married into the porter name and create a whole heap of hell for me. Although pretty much sorted I till get the odd letter and have to phone up and be talked to as if I'm trying to get out of paying for something which I should. I can't wait til I'm married next year as I will be Sarah Hudston of which there are no others!!

    Well done Christine (or someone upstairs) for spotting that it's Equifax, not Equiflex.

    However why no mention of the UK's third credit reference agency - Callcredit. In my view, they produce the clearest reports by far.

    I saw Cilla sing at a Baileys Club in Newcastle on Tyne in the 60s when I was a girl, taken there by my parents! She was a scream, literally, playing the slot machines when she wasnt singing!! I have her autograph.

    I tried to get a credit report like Lucy advised on the show and was very surprised to be asked to input my credit card details. How do I know that they will be safe? As I've not been refused credit I'd rather not risk giving out my card details to agencies that apparently can't be trusted to hold accurate information.

    Three Christine Bleakleys??? Blimey!

    jstmcm, try www.yournotme.com. It tells you how many share your name in the UK.

    It seems I am the only me in the UK, which must be a relief to all those that know me.

    Thanks to Chocolate Dog for telling me about the www.yournotme site. I think it was pretty poor journalism for the programme to keep going on about people either having or not having unique names without ever saying how you could find out.

    Mind you, we can't believe anything the internet tells you anyway. According to that website, there is nobody at all with my name - so obviously I don't exist! Judging by this, all those statistics they gave on the show about how many people there were with any given name are worthless.

    Whoever designed the Beatle's T-shirt should have done more research!

    With respect for her years in showbiz and the contributions she has made to British music and light entertainment - what was with Cilla Black's face last night on the One Show? If she has had a stroke or suffers from Bells Palsey then she should come clean - if its Botox then she really needs to stop...now! Other than that I enjoyed the show and the return of two of the nicest people on TV (A & C).
