At the Good Neighbours Coffee Morning on 7th Dec 2017. A BBC team came to film some members for the programme series “Holding Back the Years” which will be broadcast as a set of 10 programmes over a 2 week period at 10am on BBC1. This is the 2nd series of the programme, the first of which in March this year had a set of personalities looking at key concerns related to ageing.
The programme Good Neighbours is involved in is looking at Balance and Falls in old age – our experience of them and what we do to try and avoid falls as we get older. The presenter in Dr Rangan Chatterjee who is a GP in Gatley (not far from Chorlton) and also a bit of a media star ( see https://www.drchatterjee.com/)
Bernard, Enid and Judith were interviewed by Dr Chatterjee, and later many of our members at the coffee morning also participated in balance exercises
We will be interested to see the final programme, but like our previouse experience of the media, I imagine the end product will be cut down to a few seconds on the many minutes of the interviews we gave
