| Summary |
What if it were possible to turn back time? Could it be that we have the power to think ourselves young again? That's the extraordinary claim of an experiment first conducted 30 years ago and recently restaged with six of the UK's best loved celebrities.What would happen if six celebrities in their 70s and 80s went back to 1975? Could just one week of living in the past make actress Liz Smith, dancer and entertainer Lionel Blair, cricket umpire Dickie Bird, the UK's first television newsreader Kenneth Kendall, actress Sylvia Sims and newspaper editor Derek Jameson physically turn back the clock; could reliving their heyday allow them to think themselves younger? Six well loved stars are sent back to the badly decorated time of fondue and flares to conduct an extraordinary experiment which will change how people see ageing forever. From the food to the clothes, the television shows to their day jobs, the group is immersed in the world of their heyday in order to discover the enormous power the mind has over the body, and to illustrate how people age. Presented by Mariella Frostrup and resident BBC scientist Dr Michael Mosley, this entertaining and uplifting five-part series provides a refreshing take on ageing, looking at how a person's environment can shape the way that they think, and how, in turn, the way people think shapes how they feel.PRODUCTION DETAILSWall to Wall Productions |
