There's no running out of old people, and seemingly no running out of shows that find some fleetingly entertaining formats to feature them (if not exactly to cater for them). In this one, game seventysomethings in the public eye such as Stanley Johnson and Eve Pollard share their thoughts on ageing and get stuck into some fish-out-of-water challenges. Tonight, Eve takes a shift in B&Q, while Amanda Barrie and Kenny Lynch run a B&B.

The Baby Boomers' Guide to Growing Old review

Su Pollard's voiceover did try to prepare us. 'Warning!' she growled at the outset of The Baby Boomer's Guide To Getting Old (More4). 'This programme contains old people talking about sex. Get over it!' And she wasn't kidding. Honestly, you'd think the over-70s never think about anything else.
