That's Life! takes to the streets of Sheffield, to find out what the Sheffielders think about the state of television today. Is there too much sport, too much sex and too much violence?

From the man who thinks Dallas has been running for too long - but secretly wants to be J.R. Ewing, to the women who think that there is entirely too much sex on "dirty" Channel 4, to the lady who gets all in a flutter when Big Daddy performs his signature "belly-butt" move in the wrestling, there's quite a
mix of opinions on the subject.


Clip taken from That's Life!, originally broadcast on BBC One, 17 April, 1983.
