The five-part series will see a group of nursery children visit Lark Hill Village in Nottingham, the largest retirement community in the UK, in an attempt to prove that mixing two generations can transform the physical, social and emotional well-being of both age groups.
Residents at Lark Hill Village range in age from 60 to 102, and those featured in the programme include a 97-year-old karaoke-loving Dunkirk veteran, a 91-year-old honoured with an MBE, and a former Kodak film spooler.
The ten residents and ten four-year-olds will share daily activities designed by a team of experts which includes a gerontologist, consultant geriatrician, physiotherapist, and early years specialist Alistair Bryce-Clegg.
