=== Music on ''That's Life!'' === Although the ''Braden's Week'' comedy sketches were discontinued, music was still provided each week by a range of artists, including [[Alex Glasgow]], Jake Thackray, [[Fivepenny Piece|Five Penny Piece]], [[Richard Stilgoe]] and [[Victoria Wood]]. For many years the British drummer and composer [[Tony Kinsey]] was musical director and arranged the title song "That's Life!" for the Hanwell Brass Band. Eventually the musical interludes were provided by non-singers; staff of big companies sang "The Lay of the Week" to customers who complained, and unsuspecting members of the public became a choir in "Get Britain Singing" in which the team of reporters went undercover in gloomy locations such as service stations and hospitals in order to startle people with a cheerful blast of music that inspired them to burst into song.{{cn|date=November 2024}} In 1992, ''That's Life''{{'s}} talent contest called Search for a Star discovered singer Alison Jordan, and record producer [[Simon Cowell]] who offered a contract as the top prize.{{cn|date=November 2024}}
