📺 This Is Your Life was one of the most popular programmes on British television, spanning almost 50 years of broadcasting, with over eleven hundred editions produced between 1955 and 2003.

📕 Part biography, part celebration, 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.
