A season of programmes dedicated to understanding life's twilight years is set to air on BBC Four with comedienne Jo Brand and national treasure Liz Smith taking centre stage.
The collection of programmes gives a fresh insight into the sometimes forgotten matriarchs and patriarchs of our families.
It also includes observational documentaries about grandparents, a behind the scenes look at an innovative old people's home, how one actress is making the most of her "grey" years and a comedy drama about life on a geriatric ward.
