Dame Esther Rantzen is in talks about bringing back her television series That’s Life!, it has been reported.
The 77-year-old fronted the programme – a mix of investigations, topical issues and entertainment – from 1973 to 1994.
According to the Mirror, the BBC now hope to resurrect it with Dame Esther in a role behind the camera.
A BBC spokesman said only that it is “a very very early development pilot”.
That’s Life! was a huge hit with viewers during its 21-year run and spawned several spin-offs and specials.
It was revived for one night only in 2013, when Dame Esther appeared on The One Show to present an updated version of the long-running magazine programme.
