In major countries across Western Europe, the radical right is making an impact at the ballot box.
From the success of the PVV in the Dutch General Election, to progress for Marine le Pen's National Rally in France, commentators have described a populist surge ahead of European Parliament elections in June.
But what's less well covered is the fact that in some major countries in Europe, radical right parties attract the young more than they attract the old.
This can be a surprising revelation, as it's a popular notion that young people arrive at the ballot box somehow automatically left wing.
And there's a similar belief that as we age, we inevitably become increasingly right wing.
But Professor James Tilley is on hand to reveal that the relationship between age and how we vote is not this straightforward.
Across five episodes he'll investigate how young people become attached to particular political parties, how ageing affects our political views - and how the choices made by political parties play out among the young and the old.

Presented by Professor James Tilley.
