THE REAL MARIGOLD ON TOUR, 9PM, BBC1

AFTER previously discovering what it’s like to spend their twilight years in India, Japan and Florida, our intrepid celebrity OAPs embark on a new global adventure that will take them to four more countries to explore different sides to retired life.

While Wayne is pleased to find dancing plays an important role in staying young, Bobby just wishes he could find a decent cup of tea . . .
