In the Television section it says: "A successor with essentially the same format, Braden's Week, appeared when he transferred to the BBC from 1967 to 1972. This show may have been cancelled because he advertised margarine on the BBC's commercial rival ITV; the BBC felt this was inconsistent with his role as the consumers' spokesman, . Esther Rantzen, one of the researcher/presenters, went on to front a similar consumer-focused show, That's Life!. In 1974, Braden also hosted a short-lived Canadian edition of The Braden Beat for Canada's fledgling Global Television Network."

In the BBC R4 programme broadcast today, 'The Reunion', about BBC TV's 'That's Life', with Esther Rantzen participating, she said it was not the margarine advert that ended 'Braden's Week' on BBC TV. Rather he got an offer from Canadian TV to make a similar programme in Canada, which he took up and returned to Canada to make. CatNip48 (talk) 08:30, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
