The last of Anneka's deep dive into some of life's serious issues.

Anneka Rice draws on her own life to bring insight into some tricky areas of life. In the last episode of the series, she’s talking about Alzheimer’s.

Anneka Rice has led a fascinating and adventure-filled life. In this new stand-up series, she examines four tricky issues that are of particular importance to her.  Bringing insight and a refreshingly eccentric but practical mindset to these sometimes taboo subjects she'll explain how her life has been shaped by her background and experiences. 

Both of Anneka's parents developed Alzheimer’s later in life. She worries that this means she may be more likely to develop the disease herself. She talks to experts about the facts and to her audience about their own experience of dementia. Via Captain Dick and Dulux paint charts she delves into this taboo area of life and reveals the surprising moments of joy, humour and love that can come out of it.
