Nick Hewer on working at 75, Lesley Joseph on carers and the UK's first hand transplant
Nick Hewer from The Apprentice on working in your 70s, Birds of a Feather's Lesley Joseph on the pressures on carers, and the UK's first hand transplant. With Julian Worricker.
We ask Nick Hewer from The Apprentice and Countdown whether older people can still cut it in the world of work? In his programme 'The town that wouldn't retire' - part of the 大象传媒 One Ageing season - Nick follows fifteen retired pensioners back to work. With today's newborns having to work until they're 77, how do bosses, fellow workers and the public react to a more mature workforce?
Also - Lesley Joseph is famous for playing Dorien in Birds of a Feather. She'll be talking about pressures on carers. She's been spending time with a couple where caring for her husband is putting the wife's health at risk.
The Citizen Advice Bureau will reveal a massive rise in people having problems with the new Employment and Support Allowance. And we'll also be finding out about the UK's first hand transplant.
Presented by Julian Worricker
Produced by Paul Waters.
