If four-year-olds and 84-year-olds work and play together, will it improve the health and happiness of the older group? Ten pre-schoolers welcome 11 pensioners into their classroom.
The pre-schoolers and pensioners have been at the same nursery for three weeks now. Can this ambitious experiment transform the way we care for our increasingly older population?
This week the adults confront one of the most prevalent and devastating aspects of old age - low mood and depression, as they take part in a series of mood boosting activities, including an excursion to the beach.
In an experiment that aims to tackle the adult's confidence and mobility, the experts curate an action-packed week aimed at increasing their physical ability, including a day of sports.
This week the adults are retested by the experts, and the class puts on a concert for friends and family showcasing the abilities that they've been developing over the course of the experiment. (Final)
Will the friendship between four-year-old Scarlett and 84-year-old Beryl blossom and grow? Also featuring Sylvia, who is 102 and was born during World War One, and Victor, who is 97.
This time the three-year-olds and the 102-year-olds visit a maze for a memory test. Will 81-year-old Lavinia ever find her way out? And a new friendship blossoms over a plate of chips.
The group face a series of challenges with a tram journey and a trip to the supermarket - will everyone return from the shops in tact? And do chickens have belly buttons?
A fierce rivalry breaks out between 102-year-old Sylvia and 87-year-old Ken as they face-off on opposing teams during sports day.
It's the end of the experiment. As the kids graduate to big school, it's time for a jive, a waltz, and for the older group to see if their memory, mobility and mood has improved.
Hamish, Zina, Pat and David, residents of St Monica Trust, are reunited with some of their young friends, Solomon, Nelson, Millie and Eva, as they prepare for a carol concert
Cameras continue the story of the older residents and their 10 young friends. Series two saw strong friendships develop in the specially built nursery at Lark Hill village near Nottingham - such as Ken and Lily Bobtail', Beryl and Scarlett, and Pauleen and Ismail. As the children delight in being back with their older friends, can the nursery classmates persuade every resident living at Lark Hill to give one item of food for the local foodbank? And what will Victor make of the surprise appearance of fellow crooner Alfie Boe?
