"That's Life" was a very peculiar programme - Esther Rantzen surrounded by a group of rather camp men wearing cardigans and talking in a droning and sanctimonious fashion about subjects ranging from trivia to life-saving. But all terribly boring, and as it was usually broadcast on a Sunday night, a depressing show as well.
All most people can remember of it today was animals who said things - "Sossages" - and some tedious campaigns about diet pills.
I'm told that many of the production team went on to great things elsewhere in television - so I guess the dire state of TV today can be blamed on this frightful show as well Tom

Oh dear oh dear.
Having profoundly disliked Goldeneye, I enjoyed Tomorrow Never Dies and TWINE I was quite looking forward to this.
What a disappointment - a total shambles, massively over hyped, with scant delivery on that promise. Bond's PR people should get a raise, but the guys who made this should go back to TV.
The plot is just inane and uninteresting - with all respect, the forcible reunification of Korea is not something that I or I suspect most audiences can get that excited about. What happened to the good old days, when the world itself, or at least many of its major cities, was at stake?
Yes, yes, we got given all the usual PR bunk about 'empowered' Bond women and - shock - a black girl. The fact is that nearly all of the Bond girls since at least 'Spy' have been empowered and reluctant to be pushed around by Bond. And Roger Moore had the first black Bond girl in Live and Let Die back in 1973. So, purrlease Halle Berry, don't make out that this represents such a watershed - as someone else has noted, it just exposes her ignorance of all the films that went before her.
The film is a series of set pieces with little coherence and the addition of stupid and irrelevant scenes put in for product-placement - e.g. the BA plane, and him shaving -for crissakes!
I hate to say it, but the film was just plain boring. I didn't care about any of the characters, and this Bond villain was the worst since the laughably miscast Sean Bean in Goldeneye. I am a massive Bond fan, and actually fell asleep in the middle, so I apologise if I missed anything, but I somehow doubt it.
I appreciate that the end of the cold war has left the Bond 'franchise' (god I hate that word - as if its yet another branch of KFC or something) with problems in its plots - it lacks the Russian foil, so often used to good - though not always directly adversarial - effect in previous films.
Some of the sequences were OK, but totally destroyed by the increasingly infamous 'surfing on tidal wave' sequence, which would have looked at home on my PS2. The producers should be ashamed of themselves to allow such an embarrassingly bad scene in a Bond film - some people in the audience actually laughed, and they wont be alone.
The last truly great Bond film was 'Spy who loved me' - 25 years ago. I saw it recently and was reminded what recent Bonds have lacked - a coherent plot and script, interesting villains (compare the excellent and menacing Kurt Jurgens with the prep school boy villain in DAD), and large-scale battles in believable sets.
The current producers and directors seem to have no idea about their inheritance - sure they paid lip-service aplenty in DAD with oh-so-unfunny references to previous films, but none seem to have even seen any, as fas as I can see. They cannot see the vital ingredients that made those old Bonds so enjoyable and successful, and just rely on a tedious combination of stunts, explosions, and product placement to keep the show on the road.
However, I must warn them - the hype machine wont save Bond for ever; eventually the Bond 'franchise' will become an emperor with new clothes, and audiences will realise that the film-makers ran out of ideas a long time ago - they embrace things that all other actions films have, without honouring properly what Bond actually stands for: cracking but vaguely believable plots, excellent villains, and set pieces that aren't just a series of bangs and booms.
So, Mr Wilson and co, whilst you think about the next one, I urge you to view the best of the genre and LEARN. Otherwise, become a KFC franchisee, as the party may stop soon.
