One square in London - seventy houses, about 400 lives...
The square reveals moving contrasts between rich and poor, loved and lonely. Tonight's programme shows the several faces of old age - at one extreme Mrs. Beecroft, the queen of her family, still dominating seven sons, eight daughters, and her teeming grand-children - at the other Mrs. Lyons, disowned and neglected by her family.
