The Seven Ages of Man

on BBC Two England

In the last of the series about the changes that come with age, Professor Anthony Clare talks to novelist Doris Lessing. After an unhappy childhood, the self-confessed rebel outraged her parents by becoming a communist.
Now 76, Lessing is exasperated by the physical deterioration of old age but has no designs on retirement - she has just published her 21st novel and is currently writing the second volume of her autobiography. (Stereo) (Subtitled)
