The programme in which the BBC hands over air time to the public.
Tonight's programme comes from Merseyside and is presented by a group of professional people concerned with the care of the elderly.
' All of us are going to grow old. It's not something we like to think about unless we have to, but with 15 per cent of the population over the age of 65 - and that number is increasing every year - we believe that everybody should be thinking now about the years ahead.'

Natalia Makarova prima ballerina assoluta A second chance to see this portrait of the great dancer, presented by writer and ballet critic
Clement Crisp.
This film is about the qualities that have earned NATALIA MAKAROVA the most extravagantly complimentary title of all: ' assoluta'. She has been blessed with a beautiful body; she has had the world's best training at the Vaganova School and in the Kirov Company in Leningrad; and she brings to the stage a magical theatrical presence, a unique combination of personality and intellect.
The film shows Makarova at work and in performance; with Anthony Dowell in Los Angeles ' doing class ' and working on new choreography with Glen Tetley , extracts from her legendary Giselle with Mikhail Baryshnikov ; and in performance in the Pas de Deux from Swan Lake Act 11 with Ivan Nagy of American Ballet.
Introduced by JOHN DRUMMOND
It was breathtakingly beautiful to watch, moving, exciting, instructive - and historically important. (THE LISTENER) Film cameramen
PHILIP BONHAM-CARTER , NICK ROBERTSON Directed by DEREK BAILEY

In 1968 HRH The Duke of Edinburgh's Camira Flash won among unforgettable scenes. Last year's winner, Sarah's Bunny, romped home to carry on the tradition of fine races.
