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.
