That's Life (television)

That's Life! was an enormously successful BBC television series, which began in 1973 and ran until 1994 with various changes of presenter.

The constant factor throughout the twenty-year run was Esther Rantzen; her co-presenters included Kieran Prendiville, Cyril Fletcher, Glyn Worsnip, Chris Serle and Paul Heiney.

The ostensible purpose of the programme was consumer protection, but various humorous features were included, such as "odd odes", performing pets, and street interviews with members of the public. There were also musical interludes from performers such as Victoria Wood.

Victor Lewis-Smith has accused That's Life! of stealing its format from Braden's Week, hosted by Bernard Braden.
