Added a link to jobsworth, and removed the point about Victor Lewis-Smith accusing them of plagiarism; the program was a direct descendent of 'On the Braden Beat' and 'Braden's Week'; once the BBC dropped Braden and installed Rantzen, the programmme's name had to be changed, but, in its early days, it was the same programme! [don't forget to sign!]

I've re-removed Lewis-Smith and replaced with details about Braden. This should be sufficient, and makes VLS irrelevant. BTW, much of what I've added is taken (slightly adapted) from my own website. Since I'm the author and I've added it to wikipedia, there shouldn't be any problems. The JPS 02:50, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

VLS's contention is that it wasn't the same show, and that Braden was furious at his format being, at least as he saw it, stolen by Rantzen and Willcox. Lee M 20:26, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Well, in that case we could reinsert the issue? As long as it's a bit less ambiguous this time. The JPS 23:08, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have to say I remember Braden's Week (as it was known before it was cancelled) when it it ended was almost identical to That's Life when it began right down to the cartoons at the end lampooning the preceding show's items.Mickyrisk 21:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

The Kevin Devine who was a presenter on this show was NOT the singer/songwriter of the same name, but someone has linked Kevin's name to the singer's entry on Wiki - can someone change that please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lilaeth (talk • contribs) 15:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
