A Derren Brown Special film. An approach made to a GOD (Growing Old Disgracefully) group asked for volunteers over 65 interested in challenging stereotypes of quiet, compliant, invisible older people.
The film will be shown on Channel 4 at 9pm on Friday 13th December -. This is a story of some very disparate characters teaming up to prove you should never write off an OAP.
the g.o.d. member who responded said ' I haven't seen the complete film yet, so will be watching nervously to see how I come over.
However I'm well past the stage of caring very much about that and had enormous fun making the film and showing just how disgracefully I am growing old'.

Can't wait to see this

Sounds interesting! I've been chatting about invisibility of older people, and the stereotypes that are being thrust upon us, with my friend today. She fixed me with a glint in her eye and announced 'they have no idea who they're dealing with do they?' So right!

It's brilliant !! They have just been arrested. Do wish I could have been one of the four - looks like good fun !!!!!!!! Brings out the naughty in me which I think has been supressed for far too long.

Oh, I'm sorry to have missed this. It sounds like a real life version of one of our upcoming books of the month!
