| 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? |

Science special: For one week, six famous faces now in their 70s and 80s went back to the 1975 to see if living as their more youthful selves could make them physically and mentally younger. In this special, we explore the science behind the series and put the idea that we have control over how we age to the test. Using members of the public, we're putting Britain under the microscope to see how our environment, our preconceptions about old people and how we behave ourselves can have enormous impact on how we feel about the elderly and how ourselves age. A state of the nation programme which shows the remarkable science and extraordinary truths behind the series |
