Ainsley Harriott

Well-known faces explore concerns about ageing. As he approaches 60, Ainsley Harriott looks at different ways to stay happy as you get older.

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

As he approaches 60, Ainsley Harriott shows us some great reasons to be cheerful about getting older by revisiting the area he grew up in, Wandsworth in south London. Driven by one of London's oldest bus drivers, Ainsley commandeers his own Routemaster in order to tour the area and to get words of wisdom from other passengers who have already passed the age of 60. Ainsley returns to the house he grew up in with his lifelong best friend, and he visits a community centre bringing some Caribbean sunshine to London. Plus he meets a very special lady, 100-year-old Helen Clare, who made a name for herself as a singer during the Second World War. Ainsley takes Helen on a journey back to the London hotel she first sang in over 70 years ago, and where he has arranged a magical surprise for her.
