The last of eight programmes Old Age
The raw material for this series was 38 miles of film shot by home movie-makers in the 1920s and 30s. None of it was more evocative than that which concerned old age.
There's something elusive about old age. It defies definition. Somebody once asked a lady how old she was. ' Oh,' she said, ' it depends on the day.' Written and narrated by JOHN JULIUS NORWICH
