This week:
Who Wants a Gold Watch Anyway? ' Time to do everything I've always wanted to do.'
' I feel useless - plenty of time to do nothing.'
A third of our lives will be spent in retirement - that's the prospect as people live longer than ever before. How will we cope with all that time on our hands - perhaps 30 years of it?
Do people still want to retire at 60 and 65, or will jobs become so hard to find that work will become a privilege? Above all, can we afford to have one in five of us sitting at home? Instead of prolonging life with new drugs should we concentrate on helping people to be more active in retirement?
Harold Williamson looks at the way three people face retirement. And at a time when the government is formulating its long-term policy on old age, the programme discusses when people should retire. what help they need and whether more money really is the only answer.
