The 成人快手
Alan Dein meets the very old but still vigorously articulate residents of an Essex old people's home and discovers a rich landscape in the lives of Millie, Lily, Henry and others.
Millie is about to reach the astonishing age of 104; at 94, Lily is a mere youngster, while 95-year-old Hetty is still as voluble and lively as she was when she worked in a football factory or ran her own business... Alan Dein visits Vi and John Rubens House in Ilford, Essex, where elderly residents of the old East End Jewish community in London now spend their days. Talking to them about how they spend their time now he discovers a rich landscape of experience in the lives of these entertainingly lively and thoughtful old people.
Producer: Simon Elmes.
