Yes! But perhaps weirdly things mostly tend to be ‘right’. Even with Vicky McClure a BBC1 person and Suranne Jones an ITV one, Tigger Point and Vigil are totally true to their channels. Production methods aside, could have been made any time in the last 50 years

"Candyman" is just starting on BBC1 and I think that's probably my cue to go to bed. I look forward to waking up at 3:58 to Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" or the theme from Casualty. The mind boggles! Well mine does!

Esther Rantzen was such a part of the life of the UK. I was one of millions of people who watched "That's Life" on BBC1 every Sunday. With humour,Dame Esther led campaigns that changed life for the better for people across Britain. Thanks for laughs and the good works,you'll be missed by so many.
