A delightful trip down memory lane.
That’s Life was a very long-running programme on BBC TV in the UK. As Wikipedia writes, “That’s Life! was a magazine-style television series on BBC1 between 26 May 1973 and 19 June 1994, presented by Esther Rantzen throughout the entire run, with various changes of co-presenters.”
I had just about forgotten this silly item presented on That’s Life back in 1986 but thanks to fellow Brit, Dusty M. living here in Payson, it has re-surfaced.
Still fun to watch some 25 years later. (Can’t explain why this YouTube video has Dutch subtitling!)
And for those that enjoy sentimental recollections, the video below is the last few minutes from the very last programme on the 19th June, 1994.
Ah, nostalgia!

“…. ain’t what it used to be!” Thanks for sending me on that trip, Paul. Having been born in 1965, I literally grew-up on a regular dose of That’s Life which was brilliant family entertainment. Somehow, amidst the trauma of adjusting to a possibly ill-considered marriage in late 1993, I missed the final episode (or dozen)…

That’s nice that it stirred up some nostalgia for you as well. P.

Always a good show that, I think in its day I hardly missed a show…Esther is still going strong now in a programme called ‘Rip off Britain,’ where by she and other well remembered presenters such as Angela Rippon, and Gloria Honeyford help people who are being ripped off via various companies or scams..
Hope you had a good Saturday…. and thanks for the memory trip.. 🙂 Loved the clip with the GSD’s

Gracious! Esther, Angela, Gloria – what echoes of days long ago! Will see if we can sneak a look at the Rip off Britain programme – the website was an easy find http://www.rip-off.co.uk/ Thanks, Sue.
