Are doctors too quick to dole out anti-depressants? And would you be happy to keep working into your seventies?

Anti-depressants are costing the health service in Scotland more than thirty million pounds a year and prescriptions are going up. Is there another way to achieve good mental health? Kaye asks: Are we too quick to dole out anti-depressants?

The Town that Never Retired on 大象传媒1 follows Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford as they head up an experiment to send 70-something pensioners back into full time work in the city of Preston. The experiment reflects Government plans to raise the state pension age while 27% of people in their fifties at the moment are already planning to work past the current state pension age of 65.

Kaye asks: Would you be happy to keep working into your 70s?

And what would you spend your money on if you won the lottery? Would you give any money away and if so how would you decide who to give it to?
