Bill Turnbull exposes some of the fake news around health in old age.

Well-known faces explore concerns about ageing. Bill Turnbull exposes some of the fake news around health in old age.

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

Bill Turnbull retraces his youth, back to his student days in Edinburgh where he sets out to expose some of the fake news we often hear about health in old age. He meets the incredible pensioners involved in a unique experiment that dates back to the 1940s and how the results it is producing today could help the scientific breakthroughs of tomorrow. He's given privileged access to a virtual hospital whose team monitor and treat patients - sometimes hundreds of miles away - from a central HQ. And he explores the ways of fighting the ageing process, from the OAP gym bunnies and  mediation through yoga to the ways technology is revolutionising mobility issues in old age.
