The Games People Play
Dominic Arkwright, David Goldblatt, Helen Bentley and Mark Mason wonder if we grow old because we forget to play. From July 2011.
George Bernard Shaw reckoned that we don't stop playing because we're old, but we grow old because we forget to play.
Putting that idea to test are David Goldblatt, author of 鈥楾he Ball is Round鈥�; Helen Bentley, one of the organisers of Igfest in Bristol - the Interesting Games Festival; and the man behind 鈥楾he Importance of Being Trivial鈥�, Mark Mason.
Are we really as playful as we like to think, and what does our choice of game say about us ?
Presented by Dominic Arkwright.
Producer: Miles Warde
