Well on that basis there should have been very limited stuff for people over the age of 75 for some years presumably?


That is probably the case. What do the over 75s get from the BBC? The Antiques Roadshow and dramas where everyone mumbles which they can't hear.

As I am of a slightly earlier generation - one that regards the furniture on Antiques Roadshow as contemporary - I certainly could see the strings on Annette Mills' Muffin the Mule.
