Ludovic Kennedy introduces this weekly programme on the expanding world of leisure with Jeremy James and Chris Rainbow.

Including:
When Leisure is a Full-Time Job
"It's one long holiday"
"It was a terrible shock"
"After the first three weeks I nearly went mad"
These statements from retired people are typical. When they leave work at sixty-five, many feel cheated and futile - yet this should be their biggest opportunity to enjoy leisure. Some manage to get the best out of retirement. What is going wrong for the others?
