| Summary |
What would happen if six celebrities in their 70's and 80's went back to 1975? Could just one week of living in the past make Liz Smith, Lionel Blair, Dickie Bird, Kenneth Kendall, Sylvia Sims and Derek Jameson physically turn back the clock; could reliving their heyday allow them to think themselves younger? Six of the UK's beloved stars are sent back to the badly decorated time of fondue and flares to conduct an extraordinary experiment which will change how people see ageing forever. From the food to the clothes, the television shows to their day jobs, the group is immersed in the world of their heyday in order to discover the enormous power the mind has over the body, and to illustrate how people age. Presented by Mariella Frostrup and resident BBC scientist Dr Michael Mosley, this five part series provides a refreshing, uplifting take on ageing, looking at how a person's environment can shape the way that they think, and how, in turn, the way people think shapes how they feel. This final episode explores the science behind the series and puts the idea that we have control over how we age to the test. Using members of the public, watch as Britain is put under the microscope to see how our environment, our preconceptions about old people, and how we behave ourselves can have enormous impact on how we feel about the elderly and how we age.PRODUCTION DETAILSWall to Wall Productions |
