THE BABY BOOMERS’ GUIDE TO GROWING OLD
MORE4, 10pm A humorous look at life for Britain’s over-65s, seen through the eyes of celebrity pensioners.
No topic is left untouched, with the baby boomers talking about everything from body image and STDs to Tinder and dating.
Each episode takes a wry look at a different aspect of life as the celebrities pair up to explore “third age” lifestyles.
In tonight’s opening episode, they bring their sense of mischief to the complex issue of love and relationships in later life. Ex-Corrie actress Amanda Barrie and cricket commentator Henry Blofeld take the reins for the day at a dating agency, tasked with setting up septuagenarian John with a date for “cuddles and maybe more”.
Esther Rantzen and her wingman Johnny Ball head out for an evening dancing Ceroc (no, me neither) to find out how some senior singles are learning modern jive while on the hunt for love. John Prescott is asked what he would write in a lonely hearts ad, and Edwina Currie gives advice on second marriages.
