Big Red Book
This Is Your Life was a television institution.
One of the most popular programmes on British television, covering five decades of broadcasting and producing over eleven hundred editions.
The programme's premise was simple – an unexpected surprise for an unsuspecting subject as the host opened the Big Red Book to reveal a life story told through a reunion of family and friends. Part biography and part celebration, each edition aimed to entertain in a warm hearted and positive way.
At the peak of its popularity, in the 1970s and 80s, audiences of up to, and sometimes more than, 20 million viewers regularly tuned in every Wednesday at 7pm in anticipation of whose name would be embossed on that week's Big Red Book...
