Angela Rippon

Well-known faces explore concerns about ageing. Angela Rippon takes a thought-provoking look at the different ways people can retire in Britain today.

Five much-loved celebrities get to the bottom of the key ageing concerns that affect the public.

Angela Rippon returns to the area she grew up, Devon in south west England, to take a thought-provoking look at the different ways we can retire in Britain today - including meeting those who simply don't want to. First, she visits a new luxury type of senior living for the lucky ones who can afford it, where the best facilities are literally on your doorstep. By contrast, Angela then helps out at a local charity shop finding out why some volunteer and why some shop there. Here, she meets pensioner Julie who leads a very frugal life and who shares some of her unusual money-saving tips! Finally, Angela heads to the local hospital wards to meet Monica, an 83-year-old nurse who has no intention of retiring, and she speaks to Martyn Rogers of Age UK, who has advice on how people of all ages should be thinking about their retirement now.
