Episode 5: The Joy of Sets

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland

A heartwarming and uplifting tale about how people set dance through the twists and turns of life in their golden years. This film follows the joy that set dancing brings to some of its oldest and most dedicated dancers - inspirational characters who refuse to allow life to age them. Escaping the pressures of work is Vincent Lewis, an 85-year-old printer who refuses to slow down. Finding solace in dancing after the death of her son, 84-year-old Isabel Woods attends classes every week with her husband Peter. Calling the sets in his early seventies is Paddy Mee, whose knees won't allow him to take the floor as often he would like, but who still can't leave the hall. Show less
