This Is Your Life - Maureen Rees

This latest TIYL episode features a subject who was the main star of a fly on the wall documentary. The fly on the wall documentary in question was called Driving School which was 6 episodes long which features people taking their driving tests. This subject was the main star of this series spending 5k on the practical test and theory test which was written in those days unlike today where its done online. In doing so this subject became the first reality TV star long before Joey Essex, Megan McKenna, Charlotte Crosby, Sophie Kassei and others made their names in a similar way. Enjoy everyone as The Big Red Book pays tribute to the star of Driving School Maureen Rees.

She considered it, a great honor to have the choir sing for her at the end. She's an amazing woman!

[@passtheparcel2007]

Now Maureen is true reality star. She didnt seek fame an fortune or even notoriety. But she became loved by millions who tuned in each week to watch her antics of trying to drive, along with her poor exasperated husband Dave, who was desperate to help her. I'm sure she loved every min of her claim to fame on the show. Well done Mo..

[@JamesCarmichael]

Wonderful. She deserved it. Not to take anything away from the other participants, but those two were the heart of the show.

[@kaysmith8992]

How far 'reality celebrity' has come 😂

[@davidcartmell2141]

she became loved by the brain dead

[@mrbass8977]

This is when This is your life started going downhill scraping the bottom of the barrel with Z-listers

[@theculturedthug6609]

She was a big star back then there wasn't any other reality TV stars.

[@grantcrawford3060]

That is the point, though. There were still enough genuine stars back then, you didn't have to go to these depths.

[@amysmileyreid95]

I thought it was refreshing to just have an every day, common person to do TIYL.

[@damiencrowley2506]

She's better than any so called celebrity nowadays in my eyes. Anything she wanted she worked hard for. She spent a lot of money on driving lessons and did a lot of cleaning to pay for it.

[@turbosnail159]

When you get to a certain age especially with older women you go quiet obviously not everyone does but many just get quieter over the years
