The Young Ones
Six celebrities in their seventies and eighties are being taken back to 1975 in a new four-part BBC One series - The Young Ones, staring on September 9.
The programme tries to see if Liz Smith, Lionel Blair, Dickie Bird, Kenneth Kendall, Sylvia Sims and Derek Jameson can physically turn back the clock; could reliving their heyday allow them to think themselves younger?
Presented by Mariella Frostrup and resident BBC One scientist Dr Michael Mosley, looks at how a person's environment can shape the way that they think, and how, in turn, the way people think shapes how they feel. Working with Dr Mosley is Harvard Professor Ellen Langer, who ran the original experiment that inspired The Young Ones.
In the first episode, the six celebrities begin their journey back in time, travelling to their country retreat in vintage cars with songs from the hot summer of 1975 playing on the radio. And when they enter the house they're confronted with the décor of their Seventies past – everything from the carpets and the wallpapers to the food packaging and the vinyl LPs. Their bedrooms are exact replicas of their own rooms – down to the colour of the bedspread and the trinkets on their dressers.
