Vintage interviews with well-known OAPs include Noël Coward, who talks about the difficulty of accepting the death of friends and contemporaries, Cecil Beaton recalling his horror at being referred to as "sir" for the first time and the model Twiggy - a young face of the sixties - imagining what growing old might be like. At an exclusive health farm, residents try to avoid the complications of advancing age with a supposedly rejuvenating potion made of boiled sheep's organs.
