0:00:18 > 0:00:21Where in the world would you choose to spend your golden years?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Four well-known pensioners last met experiencing retirement in India.
0:00:29 > 0:00:34Now, they're embarking on a new and very different voyage of discovery.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- How are you?- Still here.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- How's the old knees? - The knee is good, look.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Ooh, hello. - What do you think?- Very sexy.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Do you mind if I touch it? - No, no. Cop a feel, cop a feel.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- Oh, yeah.- It's not bad, is it?
0:00:48 > 0:00:49- Hi!- Hello!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52You took me by surprise.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Oh, it's so nice to see you!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Hi!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Now we're all complete. - Give us a kiss, then.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Group hug.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04It's lovely to have another chance to travel with people you like.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Especially Bobby...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- LONDON ACCENT:- ..because he teaches me how to talk, you know?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I think I need a few lessons like that,
0:01:12 > 0:01:17because I've got this posh voice and it gets in the way, you know?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Kyoto.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24This time the group are travelling the globe
0:01:24 > 0:01:27to explore how other countries deal with growing old.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I am cooking in a Japanese kitchen!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39From the secrets of long life in Japan...
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Lovely jubbly.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45..to the quest for eternal youth in Florida's retirement paradise.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48How many face-lifts have you had?
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Ten.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51It's the good life. Nobody's miserable here.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54How could you be miserable? Everybody's happy.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57I'm interested to find out what it's like in other countries
0:01:57 > 0:02:00when you get old.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01How you live.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02You've turned me to drink.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Oh!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Is it now or never?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09It's just the beginning, darling.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Who knows? It might be better somewhere else.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14And if it's better, I'm going.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22This programme contains some strong language.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Come on, hurry up.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Over here!
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Bloody hell!
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Rosemary, Miriam, Wayne and Bobby are in Florida,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39considered one of the world's best-known retirement spots.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I'm just giving myself up for this experience.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47The group have all been to the States before,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50but this time they're road-testing the OAP version
0:02:50 > 0:02:52of the American dream.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- You all right, son?- Yeah.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- ROSEMARY:- Are you all right? - Hang on, don't put...steady on.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- MIRIAM:- Bloody hell, it's a mountain to get into.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01It's really big, isn't it?
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- WAYNE:- Do you want me to push?
0:03:02 > 0:03:08I loathe Florida, it has vulgarity stamped all over it,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11so I'm hoping I will learn something
0:03:11 > 0:03:14that will teach me things that I can enjoy there.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I've just got to get used to the whip.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Ha-ha, as the actress said to the bishop.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I'm not going to speak to anyone, I'm going to concentrate on driving.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28That'll be a miracle.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31The group will be living in two retirement villages
0:03:31 > 0:03:32during their stay.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35They'll be heading south to Palm Beach,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38one of the wealthiest regions in the States -
0:03:38 > 0:03:41but first, there are going for something more affordable up north,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43in Ocala County.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48For decades, Florida has been a mecca for retirees,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51with vast gated communities attracting millions
0:03:51 > 0:03:54of senior citizens from all across America.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Guys, I've got some stuff from the internet.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Can you read it out?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03The place we're going to is called Oak Run.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It's got 24-hour security.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09What worries me is when you say gated.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Why does it have to be gated?
0:04:11 > 0:04:12That I don't get.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15It says it's Florida living at its finest.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I don't think there's going to be much culture in Florida.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22I'm not interested in Botox, I'm not interested in beauty.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- AMERICAN ACCENT:- This central Florida golf community
0:04:25 > 0:04:29and country club is the kind of neighbourhood that lets you enjoy
0:04:29 > 0:04:32everything you've worked so hard for.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37A beautiful home in a safe, recreational community.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39We won't need a gun, then?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I've been to America a number of times.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I remember when we first went, I was held at knife-point cos I was gay.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Knife to my neck, "Give us your money", stole it all,
0:04:50 > 0:04:51in the middle of the day.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I won't wear me jewellery in America. No way.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55They've got guns.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00There it is.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Oak Run Country Club.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03- WAYNE:- There we are.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- MIRIAM:- Do your pulses quicken with excitement?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06No.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Oak Run will be the group's home for the next few days.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Can you imagine living in a place like this?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It has 24-hour security.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Gates close at 10pm.
0:05:21 > 0:05:28Good morning. Could you tell us the way to 11, 1105,
0:05:28 > 0:05:3260 southwest, 69th circle, Crescent Oaks?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33God.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- 2.3 miles down on the left-hand side is 69th Circle.- OK.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- You going to turn left on 69th Circle.- OK, right.- All right?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45If you could just lift the barrier, that would be brill. OK.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Thank you. Thank you very much. - Bye-bye, thank you.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Have a nice day. Bye-bye.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53There are over 7,000 senior citizens living here.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Under-18s are infrequent and closely guarded visitors.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Look at the flags!
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Oh, God.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10The group will be living in Crescent Oaks,
0:06:10 > 0:06:12one of 25 neighbourhoods on the estate.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Residents choose from 15 different house models,
0:06:17 > 0:06:21each one designed for simple, hassle-free retirement.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Bobby and Wayne will be living together
0:06:24 > 0:06:27with Rosemary and Miriam their next-door neighbours.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29There's George and Sleep.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30- WAYNE:- Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32We're next to each other.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Made it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Ooh, look at this.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42It's like going on honeymoon with somebody, isn't it?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46OK. Here we are.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Here we are.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51We're here.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Nice and cool in here. BOBBY:- Lovely.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Fabulous.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00That's all right.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Listen, do you want some of those?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05If you're hungry, we've got that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07We've got... No, no, no, you have to do it the other way.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Yeah, so...- I know what to do. I know what to do.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I know how to eat.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I'm not easy to live with.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I'm not used to sharing with people.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I am bossy, but I'm not quite as bossy as Rosemary.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Oh, that's all right.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- What's in there?- It's a bedroom. It's actually OK.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Where's your bedroom?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35What do you mean where's my bedroom?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36ROSEMARY LAUGHS LOUDLY
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- What does that mean?- Because...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- How do we know that's your bedroom? - Well...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Oh, here's another bedroom!
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I think this is my bedroom, this one.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57This is my bedroom.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I like the blue.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Blue's my colour.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03That's my bedroom.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04No, but blue's my colour.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Tough. Tough shit, mate.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- But blue's my colour. - That is my bedroom.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Looking around
0:08:13 > 0:08:16at this pretentious rabbit hutch...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22..there is no style, there is no taste, there are no books.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27I mean, the pretension of that pillar and stuck on it there's...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I don't know what it is. A branch with baubles on it?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I suppose the sofas are acceptable.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Every new resident receives a welcome visit
0:08:45 > 0:08:47from a neighbourhood rep.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Hello.- Hello, how are you? - Come on in, I'm Miriam.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Fred and Joanne are originally from Long Island.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- JOANNE:- Oh, so nice to meet you.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Lovely to meet you, too.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- FRED:- Nice to meet you. May I kiss you?- No, no, I don't do kissing.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Oh, you don't do kissing? OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03You can kiss me, then. OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05- WAYNE:- Hello.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Lynne moved here from Chicago.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Very nice to meet you. - And you, darling.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- ROSEMARY:- So, what sort of life is it?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- JOANNE:- We moved here 18 years ago and we absolutely love it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19So, what's so special about it?
0:09:19 > 0:09:20The people.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22You make friends easily.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Their families are not here,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26so you become each other's family.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28You're never alone.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31So, I came down, we had both retired. We retired...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I was 52, he was 54.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- That's young, isn't it?- Young, yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40But if you plan right, you can afford to do it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I think if you're 55 and you have to go into a retirement situation,
0:09:45 > 0:09:49I think that, erm, there's something... I don't know,
0:09:49 > 0:09:52there's something maybe you're lacking in your life.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Who knows? Maybe that's me being too judgmental.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I would never live anywhere else, I love it here.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- And I've been here for 20 years. - Yes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Do you know, what's the average price of one of these houses?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I would say 150,000.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08That's not bad at all.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12I like it here because it's just kind of nice.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Tell me some restrictions.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17In order to have anyone under 18,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19they can visit for a month.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21They can stay with you for a month.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Then they have to leave.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25What about playing loud music at night?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- No-one does that. - FRED:- No-one does that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- I want to say something. - OK.- OK.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'm gay. What about gay people? Are there any gay people?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- We have...- Some of our best friends are gay.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42When you meet them, you love them.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43That's all there is to it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Oak Run is spread across 1,400 acres.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Owning a golf buggy is essential.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03The group are on their way to the most popular night
0:11:03 > 0:11:05on the activities calendar.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Starting at 6pm, ending at eight, sharp.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- It's extraordinary, the whole thing. - Yeah, yeah, it's weird.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I don't find it, sort of, real.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20What's the hardest thing about living here in this place?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Being so far away from the children.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25But we love it so much, we get over it very quickly.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Can I ask you something, Joanna?
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Where is everyone?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Well, they're probably at the activities.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39They might be having supper.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Supper at five o'clock?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Why not?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Every Tuesday, nearly 300 regulars
0:11:46 > 0:11:49pack the Palm Grove ballroom for bingo.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- BINGO CALLER:- D-7.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Most of the clubs and activities here
0:11:53 > 0:11:55are organised by the residents themselves.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I-18.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Hello.- How are you? - Hello, very well.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Do you feel lucky tonight?- Yes!
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Oh, I've never played bingo. I haven't got a clue what I'm doing.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10O-65.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12N-33
0:12:14 > 0:12:18And the first 45 numbers have been drawn and posted.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Does anybody have a full card at this time?
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- MIRIAM:- Get on with it, love!
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- BOBBY:- She's off. She's starting on the bingo bloke now.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Well, I mean, how long... We're all very old. We can't wait this long.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I-23.
0:12:32 > 0:12:3336.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Oh, 61. I've got it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Rosemary is fanatic.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43She wants to win.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Where? Oh! I've got a line.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48No, you've got to cover all.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Every time somebody else wins, she dies a little.
0:12:53 > 0:12:552241!
0:12:55 > 0:12:56CHEERING
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- CALLER:- Are there any other bingos?
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Any other bingos?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Can I ask you, how old are you, if you don't mind me asking?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07I'm 79.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I just turned 79.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- You're not!- Yes. - You're not. Yes, I am.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- 79?- And he's 68.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- You've got a toy boy.- Yeah.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22What I'm finding really interesting about this
0:13:22 > 0:13:25is you're in a secluded community. You know, if you're on your own,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28you'll always see people, so you're never going lonely.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's a real community, and I like that.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- MIRIAM:- I liked the people that I met very much.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39They are smashing people and they're kindly
0:13:39 > 0:13:40and they bring round gingerbread
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- and that's lovely. - Oh, yeah, they're nice.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45You know, as they get to 70s and 80s,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48they might well want to come to a place like this
0:13:48 > 0:13:49where they feel secure,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52and so I can understand they want to be in a gated area,
0:13:52 > 0:13:53where they are totally protected.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55But it's their way of life.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57You wouldn't like to choose their way of life, would you?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59You've got loads of things to do but not my cup of tea.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- I wouldn't do that. - But this is the American dream.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04That's the American dream, not ours.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05This is aspirational.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- WAYNE:- This morning I realised what we're missing in England, of course,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- is the weather.- It's the weather.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I mean, I got up this morning, the sun was rising
0:14:28 > 0:14:33and it was just so warm and it just made me feel, whoa, I could do this.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Do know what? - I need a warm climate to live in.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36The more you get into this,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39the more you actually start beginning to understand it.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Residents have dozens of healthy clubs and activities
0:14:44 > 0:14:47to choose from every day.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51This morning, the group are deciding what they would like to do.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I think we're going to go swimming.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I didn't buy a new costume.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Oh, don't worry, we won't be looking at you.- Don't look at me.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- No, no, we won't. - Or don't judge me.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Well, what's your best thing?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- My best thing? - I know you've got nice tits,
0:15:03 > 0:15:04but I mean I'm talking about...
0:15:04 > 0:15:08You know, Bobby, from you, that is such a compliment.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- WAYNE:- Don't lower the tone!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12It's her!
0:15:12 > 0:15:13It's her starting me off.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Hello!
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Don't be shy.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Oh, I'm not shy, honey.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So, what would you advise us to do, being here?
0:15:21 > 0:15:22What's the best thing?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Where's the nearest museum?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Oh, my God? A museum?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Now that would be an Orlando.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Right.- Yeah.- OK, that's a way.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33And that's a zoo.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- ROSEMARY:- Do you live here?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I live on the number one t-box.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Do you have sugar?- Absolutely.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40We're out of sugar here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- You're out of sugar?- Yes.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- I can bring you some sugar. - Could you bring us some sugar?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Oh, absolutely!
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Oh, that would be really kind, thank you so much for that.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- I will be back with the sugar. - That's very kind of you.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51- Thank you so much. - That's really sweet of you.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Right, you can all have a laugh.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Look at me now and then you can...
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Oh.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Now you've seen it. - No, I haven't seen nothing. OK?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- I don't want to look at it. - Just relax, so there we go.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- WAYNE:- At least it keeps things in.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- ROSEMARY:- OK. That's fine.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Well, at least it hides the necessaries.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18RECORDED VOICE: 'Inhale, arms out. Exhale, hug yourself.'
0:16:21 > 0:16:22At the orchid pool,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Miriam and Wayne are joining neighbourhood rep Joanne
0:16:25 > 0:16:28for 9am aqua aerobics.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30'Reverse.'
0:16:30 > 0:16:32ALL: Around and down.
0:16:33 > 0:16:39A monthly maintenance fee of 150 includes all classes and activities.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- How you doing Miriam?- Brilliantly.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Love the arms, Miriam.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46ALL: Around and down.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49You can actually feel some muscles kicking in.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52It's not just sort of pretentious stuff. It's serious, isn't it?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Yeah, you'll exercise from your head to your toes.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- BOBBY:- Here we go.- Let's go.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Over at the ballroom, Rosemary and Bobby have opted for Pilates,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07one of the most popular activities for women over 65.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Do you keep fit?- No, not really.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I don't, I'm very bad.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19You know, I'm useless.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21And I was big when I was very young.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I was the runt, so I've always been fat
0:17:24 > 0:17:28and now I find every excuse not to do an exercise.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29Oh, my God.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34No, can do that one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38For more than 20 years, Bobby has had mobility problems.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Well, I broke me back in the World Championship.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I jumped up and I come down wrong and snapped me back.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Ever since, he's been on daily medication.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I mean, I rattle in the mornings by the time I took me tablets.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I rattle.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53But you don't feel old.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's just your body doesn't allow you to do the things.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58You try to do and think, "Oh, dear."
0:17:58 > 0:18:02You don't run down the steps, you come down with one foot at a time
0:18:02 > 0:18:04to make sure you don't fall over.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Nah, I can't do it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Five, two, three...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Age is a very real thing to me.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17And I'm fed up with it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Nobody ever told me that it was going to be like this.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Ouch.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26This is what's known as a "fanny stretch".
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Somebody should tell somebody that when you get old,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33you're going to have a vile time.
0:18:33 > 0:18:41I've got brown marks on my face at the side here and I get whiskers,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43and when I have to wee-wee, I have to wee-wee quickly,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45because otherwise I'll piss myself.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I hate being invisible to people.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Sometimes people just, you know, they don't see old people.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55It makes me feel cross.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01I want people to see me and fancy me, I want them to fancy me.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05I want them to imagine holding me in their arms.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06And to be invisible is death.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10I'm going for a wee-wee.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I've never been surrounded by so many young ladies.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Oh, young ladies?
0:19:17 > 0:19:18- How old are you?- I'm 82.
0:19:19 > 0:19:2382, gosh. She does the exercises better than me.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Mondays, I do Pilates in the morning.- Yes.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27In the afternoon, I do Zumba.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- All right.- And in the evening I do line dancing.- Wow.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32That's all in one day.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36This is a big eye-opener for me about these kind of centres,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40because, through it, they are exercising, they're gaining strength
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and they're gaining longevity, I should imagine.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I totally understand
0:19:45 > 0:19:48why people would want to live in a place like this.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's very safe and peaceful.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54That's what you want when you're hurtling towards death.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I like it. I like it here.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's very sharp, very interesting. A different way of life, totally,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04from what you could get in Britain, and if you compare Britain
0:20:04 > 0:20:08to sorts of places like this, I'm afraid this beats hands down.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Go on, that's it.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Go on, you. Keep going. You're all right, mate.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Keen to explore life beyond the confines of the retirement village,
0:20:23 > 0:20:28Miriam's taking Bobby for a spin in the new hire car.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Nobody fucking told me there was a thing there!
0:20:39 > 0:20:43I don't like the idea of shutting the rest of the world out,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45because that's what a gated community does.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47What it's saying is,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49"You know what? I don't want to know about those people.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51"I like the people I'm with,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53"so I'm going to stay with the people I'm with
0:20:53 > 0:20:55"and the other people...who cares?"
0:21:00 > 0:21:06It's September and the presidential election campaign is at fever pitch.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I tell you what, I am definitely going to find out
0:21:09 > 0:21:10who's voting for Trump.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Less than a mile from the security gates,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21something's caught Miriam's eye.
0:21:21 > 0:21:27I've seen this pawn and gun shop and I want to know what's going on.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I want to know what they're on about.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Hi.- Hello.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I've never been in a gun shop.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Would you advise somebody living in Oak Run to get a gun?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43If you knew how many guns are in Oak Run,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45all the retirement developments. They all...
0:21:45 > 0:21:49Retirees are our number one customers.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Do they buy guns to protect themselves?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Yeah. You know, I look at a gun as insurance.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- You have insurance for your vehicles?- Sure.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01OK, so you have your insurance card in your wallet, right?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05OK. In case of an accident, you get your insurance card.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07In case of an accident, I have my gun.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- BOBBY:- I've got guns. I've got rifles,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12but you're not allowed to have handguns in England.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You have to put the bolt in one safe,
0:22:15 > 0:22:20the ammo in another safe and the gun in another one,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22So, if I ever got excited or nasty,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I've got to open three different things up
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- and, by then, they think you've calmed down by then.- Yeah.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30But, your law, you don't have to do that.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- You can have it loaded in your house?- Absolutely.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36People in America die more from hammers than guns.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Look it up.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39There you go.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Quite heavy.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- Don't point it at anyone. - I'm not pointing it at anybody!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I know that much!
0:22:50 > 0:22:55I don't like them, I don't approve of them, I don't want one.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Are you a Trump supporter?
0:22:58 > 0:23:0198% of the people that live in this area are all Trump supporters.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02I know it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04These are some Trump socks.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- We even have his, er... - "You're fired."
0:23:06 > 0:23:07..famous words.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10We've Trump cologne, which I use every day.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14He is a good person, going to surround himself by good people
0:23:14 > 0:23:16and is going to do the best for the country.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I think he is a total piece of shit, that's what I would say.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Anyway...- That's OK, I respect you. I respect you.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25God bless, take care. Take care.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- We love everybody.- Thanks very much.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29We're Trump supporters and we love everybody.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Oh, boy.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Thank you.- Pleasure.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Florida has one of the highest violent crime rates in America,
0:23:42 > 0:23:48with the popularity of gated communities soaring in recent years.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- Afternoon!- Hi, there.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Having learnt many residents carry guns, Bobby is keen to meet one.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- WAYNE:- Nice to meet you too. - You guys ready to go shooting?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Yes, please.- Let's do it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00How many guns do you have?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Erm, about 15 or 20.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Gosh.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Yeah, I think I shot my first gun when I was four.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08- Did you?- Mm-hm.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Tim is a retired farmer.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15He carries everything from hunting rifles
0:24:15 > 0:24:17to military-grade assault weapons.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23An ardent pacifist, Miriam has refused to join the shooting party.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Do you think if you lived here you'd get a gun?- No.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Answer that question after you've shot.- Yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35I wouldn't get a gun, no.
0:24:36 > 0:24:37I don't like guns.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44What a shop.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Florida has some of the most relaxed gun laws of anywhere in the US.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52After security checks, all you need is a driver's licence
0:24:52 > 0:24:53and to be over 18.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Could we hire some guns, please? - Absolutely.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59There is no upper age limit.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02You always want to make sure you keep your finger off the trigger.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- All right, and be careful where you pointing it, too.- Yes.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05I hope it's not loaded yet.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Well, it doesn't matter if it's loaded or not.- Really?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- You don't point a gun at anybody until you're ready to fire.- Really?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- You're pointing.- Oh, because they think I might be attacking them.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Have you got another choice?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Have you got another one for me to look at?- Sure.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Ah, that's sort of more comfortable for me.- Right.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Now, careful where you're pointing.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Always be self-aware of where it's pointing.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24This actually is a better size.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Look at her! She's still pointing at you.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- WAYNE:- In Oak Run, would you have a gun because you need it in Oak Run?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- TIM:- I have a gun because I feel like it's my duty
0:25:34 > 0:25:36as an American citizen to have a gun.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39That's why, in the United States, we have to have our guns,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41because we're the standing force
0:25:41 > 0:25:43that keeps us from losing our freedom.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I feel you take the law into your own hands.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Not at all. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun
0:25:48 > 0:25:49is a good guy with a gun.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52So, I carry a gun most of the time.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- With you? On you?- Yes. - Where do you carry it?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Right there. And if I have to use it...
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- Is that loaded?- Always loaded when I go out with it on me.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It's always loaded. I find that really quite scary, actually.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Would you advise us to get a gun if we decided to move to Oak Run?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10I would advise you to get a 20-gauge shotgun and keep it in your house.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Well...
0:26:12 > 0:26:13- GUNSHOT - Oh!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20One in three adults in America owns a gun.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Well, just keep control of the gun.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34See, that's what you need at home.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Sorry?- That's what you need at home. - I can't hear you.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41This is what you need at home.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44If they did have a war and got invaded, the army invading them
0:26:44 > 0:26:46will have a problem, won't they, because everyone's got guns.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Got their own army again, haven't they?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Oh, my goodness me!
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Let go.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Pull and hold it.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08He's mowing 'em down.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09- WAYNE:- Did I get them all?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- You weren't playing.- Really? - You weren't playing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17If somebody came at me with a gun, I'd pick it up and shoot.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19If I was defending my family,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I'd be out there right in front of them
0:27:21 > 0:27:23and shooting the bugger in the chest.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28I did enjoy it. Yes, I did.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31It was fun. It was fun - but I don't like guns.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I just don't like them.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38REVERSING ALARM
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I'm pedalling forwards.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Agh!
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Fucking hell!
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Fresh from the excitement of the gun range,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Wayne's heading to the Palm Grove ballroom.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Step, step together. Step, step together.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02One, two, three, four and one and two and three...
0:28:02 > 0:28:04He's setting up a dance class.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Run, run, run. Run, run, run.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08All are welcome.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- ROSEMARY:- Hello, how are you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:11Hello!
0:28:11 > 0:28:13We've been shooting guns.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Unlike the Oak Run residents,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22who have mostly given up their full-time jobs...
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Put your hands out, turn around...
0:28:24 > 0:28:27..in the UK, Wayne still works as much as possible.
0:28:28 > 0:28:34I've tried retiring and thinking of having a pool in the back,
0:28:34 > 0:28:37you know, and sitting in the sun.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Bollocks!
0:28:39 > 0:28:40One, two, three, four.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:28:42 > 0:28:43No way!
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I can only live by living to the full.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Run, run, run, jump, five and six and seven and eight.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Very good!
0:28:53 > 0:28:56It's brilliant. He is so good!
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Out, in. Out, in.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Good.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Do you know what's lovely?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03It's lovely to see him doing what he knows best.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06It's a bit like when I'm in my kitchen, I'm doing what I know best.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09He's doing that - it's lovely to see.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Rosemary could demonstrate it, couldn't you, dear?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Four, two, three, four.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18And...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Turn, turn, turn.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Good.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27One, two...
0:29:29 > 0:29:30..four, back.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33Just mark it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Run, run, run.
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Jump.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Run, run, jump.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Run, run, run, jump.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Five, six, seven, eight.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Good, OK.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Maybe he'll buy a place in Oak Run?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Oh, I wish he would.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Oh, he would set this place on fire. Yes, he would.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Let's do it! Are you ready?
0:29:51 > 0:29:52ALL: Yeah!
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Now hit it, baby.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I wouldn't be able to help but get involved in things like this
0:29:59 > 0:30:02if I lived here - and you can see how joyous they all are at doing it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04They laughed all the way through.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Tomorrow, the group will be heading off to pastures new.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19As a thank-you, they've decided to throw a party for the neighbours.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22What we're going to do now is mix it all in here.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Chef Rosemary has roped everybody in to help her.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Right, Miriam's making salad.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30I've got the worst deal.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I do not cook.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Ever.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Don't you?- Never.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39What do you do then?
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Microwave.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45I'm so pleased to meet you, welcome.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47It's very nice to meet you.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48Wait a minute, who are you?
0:30:48 > 0:30:49It doesn't matter, darling.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50No, no, I don't kiss...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Our guests are arriving!
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- WAYNE:- I love it.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00We fit!
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I've been here 17 years.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I've met a lot of people,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06You become friends and have a good time with people
0:31:06 > 0:31:08and some of them get sick and die.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- I'm only 66.- Oh, are you, Johnny? You're younger than me.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Well, you've got plenty of time.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Dick and Garth have lived here for eight years.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Am I allowed to say, are you gay?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Oh, we're married gay!
0:31:19 > 0:31:22What's it like, living here in the gated community, being gay?
0:31:22 > 0:31:23- Oh, we love it!- We love it. It's wonderful.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25And being gay, has there been any problems?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- We've had no problem whatsoever. - No, no.- Haven't you?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31You know, there's a lot of conservative people here,
0:31:31 > 0:31:32but, you know, it's not an issue.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34We love the theatre, they've got a nice theatre group.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36He's directing the next show.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38You guys are here, like, a couple of weeks too late.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40We did a variety show and he and I did a duet!
0:31:40 > 0:31:41Did you?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- He played Ethel Merman. - I played Ethel Merman.- Oh, did you!
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- And that went over really well. - How did that go?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I was dressed from head to toe like Ethel Merman.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- And did you steal it? - I got a standing ovation!
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Did you? Fantastic!- Yes, I did!
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Oh, I love it. Go on, give us a rendering now.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- SINGING TOGETHER:- There's no business like show business
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Like no business I know!
0:32:03 > 0:32:04- MIRIAM:- Very good, very good!
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Well, I'm totally surprised there's so many gay men
0:32:07 > 0:32:11and gay women living in these communities.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I thought it was all for the heterosexuals and the rednecks.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19And, er, gosh, a major breakthrough going on in America, I think.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20And, yeah, I'd give it a second thought.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Oh, my God!
0:32:30 > 0:32:35What we imagined and put into our brains when we first arrived here
0:32:35 > 0:32:38is not what this place is - it's completely different.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42I think, actually, I shouldn't have been as judgmental as I was.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45But I have to tell you, my mind has been changed.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48In fact, I think it's incredible.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51They'll live longer. They're healthier. They're better.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55I think I'd just like to say on behalf of all of us here,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59I mean, you have been amazing and you've made us feel very welcome.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01And I would like to say a big thank-you
0:33:01 > 0:33:03from the bottom of my heart.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:33:17 > 0:33:19It's Wednesday.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Grass cutting day.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25This morning, the group are leaving Oak Run to sample life
0:33:25 > 0:33:28in one of the wealthiest retirement resorts in Florida.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Despite early misgivings,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34even Miriam seems to have caught the happy vibe.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Hello!
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Rosemary's on a breakfast duty.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44I'm a bit worried. I've got to get on with this,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47cos if she doesn't get her brekkie soon,
0:33:47 > 0:33:51she's going to shout and say, "Where's my breakfast?!"
0:33:51 > 0:33:52But that's OK, I don't mind.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Oh, the fuck's sake, who's doing the cooking?
0:33:56 > 0:33:57SMOKE ALARM
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Oh, for goodness's sake.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Jesus Christ, the noise!
0:34:06 > 0:34:07What's happening?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- WAYNE:- Ooh! Quite misty here, isn't it?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17It's only a bit of bacon, for goodness's sake.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19What happened?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21We shouldn't be having bacon! There's Jews here!
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Christ.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Oh! Here we go.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- There.- Bob's your uncle.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- MIRIAM:- God bless, thank you very much!
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Thank you very much.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- WAYNE:- Bye, Oak Run.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45I think Oak Run has done us proud, actually, in a way.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- The people were lovely. - Cos people have been wonderful.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- It's all about the people, isn't it? - Yeah, it is.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51They are a happy lot.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Yes, they are a happy lot.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58The group are heading south to Palm Beach County,
0:34:58 > 0:35:01home to some of the richest retirees in the state.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Because otherwise, they just can't deal with it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Christ, that was close!
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Just be careful.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- Right round.- Right around? - Right round.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15My God.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Christ.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20- WAYNE:- Well done.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21FARTING
0:35:21 > 0:35:23God!
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Now just pay attention and everybody help her, because she's...- OK.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28..starting to lose it.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29I'm not!
0:35:29 > 0:35:32We're going in here to the... oh, the Polo Club.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Oh, I say!- That's posh, innit?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Yeah.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Spread across a thousand manicured acres,
0:35:39 > 0:35:44the Polo Club is marketed as the ultimate in retirement living.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48A top-end house costs nearly 6 million.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51We're visiting. We're from Britain.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54But first, you have to join the club.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Membership costs up to 85,000.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Another 25,000 a year secures access to every state-of-the-art facility.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07It's beautifully kept, isn't it?
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Isn't it just.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Oh, Windsor Park!
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Ascot.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Oh, this is all the polo places in England.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Of course, it is.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- You can tell this is money, can't you?- Yeah.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Straight away.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Get yourself together.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23This dress shows my knickers.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Well, pull it down, darling. - It's very embarrassing.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27We want to be able to get into the building.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Oh, hello!- Hello!
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Hi, welcome to the Polo Club of Boca Raton.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- MIRIAM:- Tell us what you'd like us to do.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37We're going to do a couple of things.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38I'm going to take you on a very short little tour
0:36:38 > 0:36:40on our way down to the membership office
0:36:40 > 0:36:42and we're going to get your membership ID cards
0:36:42 > 0:36:44and at that point you are a member of Polo Club,
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- where you can live it your way.- OK.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48We're also preparing right now for our big party this evening
0:36:48 > 0:36:49and you are all invited to it.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Thank you.- It's a really, really nice cocktail party.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Just a small, intimate gathering for about 800 people. So...
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- 800 people?!- 800 people?! - A small, intimate gathering!
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- MIRIAM:- Are you serious, 800 people? - Yes.- That's outrageous.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01- ROSEMARY:- So, 800 people?- Yes.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Tonight, when you come back in another hour and a half,
0:37:03 > 0:37:04this will be magical.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Yes?- Literally magical.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Chris is the club's director of new member sales and marketing.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15I really focus on bringing people that like to play golf
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- and like to play tennis, that are the ages of 50 to 65 years old.- OK.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- So, that's what I focus on.- OK.- Yes.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23And they get to enjoy this home as they go into retirement
0:37:23 > 0:37:25and then in actual retirement.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26One, two, three...
0:37:28 > 0:37:30You need to keep your membership card with you at all times, OK,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32because that does allow you access in and out of the club.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- Yes.- If you don't have that, especially since you are new...
0:37:35 > 0:37:36You're dead? Basically, you're dead.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39No, we're very friendly club, actually. Erm, but...
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Well, you smile and then you kill us. I understand.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Look at this.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47This is our home now.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50This is incredible.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Oh, my God.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- It's lovely.- Isn't it glorious?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57I love it.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Oh, we've got a pool.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00I just love the pool!
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Thank goodness for that.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Oh, my goodness me! Look at it.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06The group are moving into a 2.5 million dollar villa,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09one of the club's mid-range properties.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Oh, this is amazing.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Wow.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- BOBBY:- Is that a bed?
0:38:15 > 0:38:16- Look at this.- Somebody's home.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Do you want to put more cushions on the bed? You've got one, two, three,
0:38:20 > 0:38:24four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12.
0:38:24 > 0:38:2612 pillows.
0:38:26 > 0:38:27This is the room I like.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32How could anyone ever imagine a place like this?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36I've never seen anything like it.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39A grotesque spending of money.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Deeply pretentious.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I think this is fantastic.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45This is something you think you could get used to?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47I love luxury.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48I couldn't give a monkey's about it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51It doesn't really, it doesn't do nothing to me.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54You know, the luxury, all that...
0:38:54 > 0:38:57to me, it's just... I don't see it like that.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I think it's nice,
0:38:59 > 0:39:01but I wouldn't go, "Ooh!"
0:39:10 > 0:39:14The club members' cocktail party includes cabaret-style entertainment
0:39:14 > 0:39:16and an all-you-can-eat hors d'oeuvre buffet.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21There's only one word for it - paradise!
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Are you the entertainment?
0:39:38 > 0:39:39No!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41My name's Wayne, nice to meet you.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44I thought you were going to be the entertainer.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- ROSEMARY:- You lot do not look your age.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Well, do you know why? We all use the same doctor.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50The doctor?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Yes!
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Yeah, I'm the dart man.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58- Yeah, yeah.- Wow.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Yeah, most of the top guys earn over a million and a half a year.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11Yeah.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Where were you from originally?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Berlin, Germany.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I came on the Kindertransport to the UK...
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Ah!
0:40:23 > 0:40:27And I'm very involved in everything to do with the Holocaust
0:40:27 > 0:40:29and the world that we're living in right now
0:40:29 > 0:40:32is a very, very frightening world.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35The only people that I cannot talk to
0:40:35 > 0:40:36are the Republicans.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- Well, you've got a Republican right here!- Oh.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Are you a Trump supporter?
0:40:43 > 0:40:49I am. It's not for Trump, but I absolutely hate Hillary Clinton...
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- You would vote for Trump? - Oh, no question!
0:40:53 > 0:40:56If you compare Trump and Hitler, you'll find a huge...
0:40:56 > 0:40:58OK, I'm sorry. I really...
0:40:58 > 0:40:59..number of similarities.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05I really...I really...this woman is so bad for this country.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08I just...I can't talk about it, I really can't.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- All right. I don't want to upset you.- You are upsetting me.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Well, I don't want to do that. - So, it has been lovely meeting you.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- You too.- You are a very nice person.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- And I, erm, let's leave it at that, OK?- All right.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23You're in the minority here,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27but I'm with you, 100%.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Is that an American problem now,
0:41:29 > 0:41:32that people don't want to discuss politics?
0:41:32 > 0:41:37People want to, but they've had such heated arguments this time.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Never before, but this time, that it's become...
0:41:40 > 0:41:41It divides friendships?
0:41:41 > 0:41:47It's divided the community, so it's a subject we don't talk about,
0:41:47 > 0:41:48so we could all have a great time.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Can I ask you how old you are?
0:41:53 > 0:41:5472.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55What?!
0:41:55 > 0:41:58This lady is 72!
0:42:00 > 0:42:0272!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- You've just had a face-lift? - I had it days ago.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Ten days ago.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11I don't think there's anything wrong.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14You know, I think cosmetic surgery, I would totally accept that
0:42:14 > 0:42:17and I would love to have certain things done.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Oh, my God, I'd love my eyes done.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21I'd love my nose done.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I'd love my face taken back.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25I'd love my jowls done.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29I'm thinking of having some Botox.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32I am not the expert here, honey.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35There are a lot of other babes here that are, like,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37way versed more than me.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38OK.
0:42:38 > 0:42:44But, it's something, if you want to feel good about yourself, or don't.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48I even went to the extreme one day - I've never told a soul this -
0:42:48 > 0:42:52I went to a plastic surgeon and I was going to have my nose done.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56And I went in the morning and I went in to go into the hospital
0:42:56 > 0:42:59and you know what, my suitcase, I decided not to do it,
0:42:59 > 0:43:00and I didn't do it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04I will be turning 80 on October 1.
0:43:04 > 0:43:05No!
0:43:05 > 0:43:08How many face-lifts have you had?
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Ten!
0:43:11 > 0:43:12Ten?
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Now, the thing is, how many have you had?
0:43:15 > 0:43:21- Four, five?- I really think that's too personal for me to reveal,
0:43:21 > 0:43:23but I did have a face-lift.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25I know I look good, I've been told that.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29- I believe in it.- Yeah. - And that's why I did it.- Yeah.
0:43:29 > 0:43:30- And I think it's wonderful.- Right.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32If you want it, do it.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54- Miriam.- Yeah?
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Hello!- My two Democratic friends here,
0:43:58 > 0:44:02- and they are shocked to the core. - Horrified!- Shocked to the core!
0:44:02 > 0:44:06..by this misogynist con artist.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07Narcissistic...
0:44:07 > 0:44:09There are few people who are willing to stand up
0:44:09 > 0:44:12and say what they believe.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- ROSEMARY:- Hello!- Hello.- And how long have you been here for?
0:44:15 > 0:44:1719 years. And how long have you been here?
0:44:17 > 0:44:19I've been here one half afternoon.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21- One afternoon.- Not even that.
0:44:21 > 0:44:22So, you know nothing about the club at all.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24I know nothing about it.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26And you know nothing about politics at all!
0:44:26 > 0:44:31And I spent six years in the service, lady, so I've paid my dues.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34Don't you dare talk about people running for president
0:44:34 > 0:44:37- unless you know what the hell you're talking about.- It's my right...
0:44:37 > 0:44:40I was shot twice and I don't need stupid people like you...
0:44:40 > 0:44:42I have a right...
0:44:42 > 0:44:44- MIRIAM:- I'm talking to you, big shot!- Who are you?
0:44:44 > 0:44:47You open your mouth, and a pile of shit comes out!
0:44:47 > 0:44:49- Oh, yeah, really?- Who asked you?
0:44:49 > 0:44:51I do need you to ask, to get your permission...
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Just be quiet. This lady was talking. You interrupted.
0:44:54 > 0:44:55Who asked you to push in here?
0:44:55 > 0:44:58Don't push in! We were in a conversation. You be quiet.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Let's do one at a time. Let's do one at a time...
0:45:00 > 0:45:02- Don't you bully me. I won't have it. - I'm not bullying you!
0:45:02 > 0:45:06- I won't have it. - Why are you yelling? Don't yell.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08He interrupted the conversation.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11She has a right to her opinion,
0:45:11 > 0:45:13but she's talking like she has diarrhoea of the mouth.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17You know, when I hear opinions like that, I always say, "God forgives".
0:45:17 > 0:45:20I think everybody has a right to say whatever they want,
0:45:20 > 0:45:22but they mustn't interrupt.
0:45:22 > 0:45:23He interrupted.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- You're not here to discuss politics. - I agree.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29You guys are here to find out about what this club's about.
0:45:29 > 0:45:30It's playground.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32It's an adult camp.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34- Did you hear about Thirsty Thursdays?- No, no, excuse me.
0:45:34 > 0:45:39We have two-for-one drinks, hors d'oeuvres, all you can eat.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41I mean, can you beat that?
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Oh, my God! You have to go to the bagel room!
0:45:44 > 0:45:48Bagels and bialys and cream cheese and jellies
0:45:48 > 0:45:51and coffee and tea and...oh, my God.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53How do you stay young here?
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Very easily. You go to a very fine plastic surgeon.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00That's what we do.
0:46:01 > 0:46:02And also, it's the good life.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05It keeps you young.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06You know?
0:46:06 > 0:46:07Nobody's miserable here.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09How can you be miserable?
0:46:09 > 0:46:11Everybody's happy.
0:46:11 > 0:46:12You know?
0:46:23 > 0:46:26I thought it was absolutely horrendous.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Yeah, tell me what you think, Miriam.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31They can't have discussions about religion or politics.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35Yes. Well, it is one of the worst things to discuss.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38- We weren't talking to him and he just barged in.- He was very rude.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40He was incredibly rude.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42"You don't know what you're talking about!
0:46:42 > 0:46:44"I was in the Army and you're just...
0:46:44 > 0:46:48"You know, you don't know what you're talking about!"
0:46:48 > 0:46:50Oh, it was a weird night.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54I met a load of women who were sort of reasonably young, my age,
0:46:54 > 0:46:55most of them had had surgery.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57I think they look awful.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59- WAYNE:- Do you?- Yeah.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01- It looks unnatural to you, does it, Bobby?- Yeah.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Oh, well, generally, I do see...
0:47:03 > 0:47:08I now think that I would be much happier going back to Oak Run.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10I just don't think it's real-life.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12To be honest with you,
0:47:12 > 0:47:15I think we're been very judgmental
0:47:15 > 0:47:18and I've sort of said I would go and see this surgeon and find out.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21I've thought about surgery.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Are you serious, that you'd do that?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Well, I might, yeah.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26Christ.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27- WAYNE:- Mmm!
0:47:27 > 0:47:28And here's some biscuits.
0:47:28 > 0:47:29Are you all right, Bobby?
0:47:43 > 0:47:46It's the start of another perfect day
0:47:46 > 0:47:48for nearly all of the club's 2,000 members.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52BEEPING
0:47:52 > 0:47:53Oh...
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Oh, God, help! Somebody help!
0:47:57 > 0:47:58Where's the thing?
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Something to hold something.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02It's all right. Just...
0:48:02 > 0:48:03Ooh, Christ!
0:48:03 > 0:48:04I'll do it.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Oh, no, it's burnt.
0:48:07 > 0:48:08- Doesn't matter.- Doesn't it?
0:48:09 > 0:48:11It's quite scary, having a meal here.
0:48:13 > 0:48:17The group will soon be heading back to the UK, but first,
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Rosemary has an appointment to keep.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22- I'm off to go and see my surgeon this morning.- Are you?
0:48:22 > 0:48:25- Yeah, I'm going to have my fillers. - I don't really approve of this.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27- I think if you just had a little bit of...- Yeah.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29..something there.
0:48:29 > 0:48:30- Filler.- There.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33- Just there.- And to be honest with you, I've always wanted it done,
0:48:33 > 0:48:35because they're craters!
0:48:35 > 0:48:39- You look as if you're frowning a lot.- All the time. Exactly!
0:48:39 > 0:48:41So I'll come back looking as smooth...
0:48:41 > 0:48:43You'll look just the same, love.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47- Let's have a look.- See?
0:48:48 > 0:48:49Yeah, you've got a lot...
0:48:49 > 0:48:52It looks like someone's stuck a knife in your forehead.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54WAYNE CHORTLES
0:48:54 > 0:48:55- It does, though! - It does, doesn't it?- It does.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59So if you get rid of that, then that's OK.
0:48:59 > 0:49:00Thanks, Bobby.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08After chatting to residents of last night's party,
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Rosemary's arranged to see a plastic surgeon.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Dr Tzikas specialises in facial cosmetic procedures.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21- Have a seat, if you would.- Right, thank you. Thank you very much.
0:49:23 > 0:49:29Now, what I've really hated is these craters in my face.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Well, the key thing in doing anything is not to look
0:49:31 > 0:49:33- like you've had work done.- Yes.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36- Those lines can definitely be filled in.- Yes.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38There are fillers that can be used.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39How much does it cost?
0:49:39 > 0:49:43- Well, each syringe in my practice costs 950.- Right.
0:49:43 > 0:49:47And generally, for you, doing two syringes would work very well.
0:49:47 > 0:49:49- Let's do it, come on.- All right. - You have to do this quickly,
0:49:49 > 0:49:51- cos I'll change my mind, otherwise.- OK.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55- This is Barbara.- Hello, Barbara. - This is Rosemary.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58- Good morning.- Nice to meet you. - You, too.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00It's like going to the dentist.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03Yeah, kind of, but it doesn't hurt and you'll better instantly.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08- Are there a lot of surgeons like you?- Absolutely. Every corner.
0:50:08 > 0:50:12- Seriously?- Every street corner in this area.- Really?
0:50:12 > 0:50:15South Florida, where we are, Palm Beach County,
0:50:15 > 0:50:17is one of the meccas of plastic surgery,
0:50:17 > 0:50:21- cosmetic procedures, actually in the world.- Mm-hm.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23- You're not doing it to impress anyone else...- No, no.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26- You're doing it to feel better about yourself, and that's...- It's for me.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29- Correct. That's the right reason to do it.- Yes.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34I've never felt an attractive person, ever, in my life.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39My sister was slim and beautiful and I was never the pretty one.
0:50:39 > 0:50:40I was always the comedian.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Just concentrate on breathing, OK.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Just slow, easy breaths.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Little pinch here..
0:50:49 > 0:50:50You're doing good. OK? All right?
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Hold still, hold still.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56Nice. So, I'm done with this side.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58- OK.- OK. Looks really, really nice.
0:50:58 > 0:50:59Have you had any work done yourself?
0:50:59 > 0:51:02- I've had similar things to what you're having.- Really?
0:51:02 > 0:51:04So, I've had some fillers and I have had Botox.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08It's the new you, Rosemary, coming out, right now.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11- It looks really, really great. - Right.
0:51:11 > 0:51:12Take a look.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17- What you think? - Oh, my God, that's amazing!
0:51:19 > 0:51:21- Right, they're gone? - That is incredible.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25- You wouldn't know I'd had this done, would you?- Absolutely not, no.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27It just looks better, but you can't tell you've had anything done.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32For years I've been trying to help my face, but nothing's helped!
0:51:32 > 0:51:34It's uplifting.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38I feel great. I really do.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41I feel absolutely fab. I'm so pleased I went through with this.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45I've forgotten what it is to feel pretty.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56Hi, Wayne.
0:51:56 > 0:51:57Hi! Beautiful!
0:51:59 > 0:52:01I know, I've just had my hair done.
0:52:01 > 0:52:02And I've had make up.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04- It looks so much better. - Does it look better?
0:52:04 > 0:52:05- Much better.- Yes?
0:52:07 > 0:52:09Where did the Botox go then?
0:52:09 > 0:52:12Well, my filler went all the way in there, all the way over here.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14You can see, if you come round here, you can see.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18- Over here somewhere. - All round there.
0:52:18 > 0:52:19That's nice.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21Well, I think you look great, whatever it is.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Thank God you came here!
0:52:23 > 0:52:24Mmm!
0:52:25 > 0:52:28I like the way I look.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31I like the lines I have.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34It shows I've lived the life I've lived.
0:52:35 > 0:52:41I am beautiful inside and the beauty that's inside will come out
0:52:41 > 0:52:46and people will see it in the directness of my gaze,
0:52:46 > 0:52:48in the happiness of my smile.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51And you said it wouldn't change my personality.
0:52:51 > 0:52:52Which it hasn't.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55- That's good. - That's the trouble!
0:52:55 > 0:52:59But I have read and people say, you know, she's really ugly,
0:52:59 > 0:53:02she is plug ugly, she is the ugliest woman on television,
0:53:02 > 0:53:04and I just laugh,
0:53:04 > 0:53:06cos I don't believe it.
0:53:12 > 0:53:17We have been a rather locked in with these gated communities,
0:53:17 > 0:53:20and I want to open the gate and frisk about.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22- Bye-bye!- Bye!- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye, Polo club.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29There's a car behind me, I can't do that.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31There's something stopping me.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34- I'll tell you what, just... - Oh, fuck that.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37- What was it?- The satnav had got caught in the steering wheel
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- and I couldn't turn the wheel.- God!
0:53:40 > 0:53:41That's dangerous.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45Before heading home, the group is stopping off
0:53:45 > 0:53:48in one of the world's top party destinations -
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Miami.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52OK, kids, we are about to hit Miami Beach.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56- Fantastic.- Fantastic! - Miami Beach, welcome.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01Oh, yes, I could retire to this.
0:54:01 > 0:54:03- BOBBY:- Yeah.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04Wet Willy's!
0:54:05 > 0:54:08That's right up your street, innit?
0:54:08 > 0:54:09- WAYNE:- Yeah, it is!
0:54:16 > 0:54:18Shall we cross and be in the hub of it?
0:54:26 > 0:54:30We've been shut in and now, were allowed out!
0:54:33 > 0:54:34- WAYNE:- Woohoo!
0:54:34 > 0:54:36You're in your element!
0:54:36 > 0:54:39- I could easily rest here. - It's gorgeous.- It's gorgeous!
0:54:39 > 0:54:41It's liberating.
0:54:41 > 0:54:42The people are beautiful,
0:54:42 > 0:54:44the buildings are beautiful,
0:54:44 > 0:54:48the weather is beautiful and Miriam's gorgeously beautiful!
0:54:48 > 0:54:49I'm happy.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Miriam, Bobby, Rosemary and Wayne
0:54:55 > 0:54:58have decided to book a sunset trip around the bay
0:54:58 > 0:55:00for their final few hours together.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02This is a bit of luxury.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04- Hello.- Hello.
0:55:04 > 0:55:05Yeah.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13This is lovely, Bobby, eh?
0:55:13 > 0:55:16Lovely. The breeze blowing in your hair.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19Lovely.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23Americans, I've found since I've been here,
0:55:23 > 0:55:26old people are not old.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28And they do live a long while.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31I was surprised at the ages, 89, 99.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36This is what retirement is about.
0:55:36 > 0:55:37For some people.
0:55:38 > 0:55:43People are buying time, in any way they can,
0:55:43 > 0:55:48to not come to the end of their lives by simple things.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Recreational games, erm... swimming, tennis.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54They can keep themselves younger.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57It's a completely different culture over here.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01We tend to sort of shy away from old age a little bit.
0:56:01 > 0:56:05They embrace old age in a completely different way.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07I think that's an amazing quality.
0:56:09 > 0:56:14I feel that this trip has made me realise
0:56:14 > 0:56:21that loads of people are facing old age and retirement
0:56:21 > 0:56:25and they've all found a way,
0:56:25 > 0:56:28the ones we met, of doing it.
0:56:28 > 0:56:35But I think it's given me... a sense of hope
0:56:35 > 0:56:37that I'll find a way
0:56:37 > 0:56:43to sort out the last times of my life
0:56:43 > 0:56:44in a way that'll make me happy.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50And I don't think I thought that before,
0:56:50 > 0:56:52and I'm very surprised...
0:56:52 > 0:56:56that America has given me that feeling.
0:56:59 > 0:57:01Yeah. I'm surprised.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11What a lovely time we've had together.
0:57:11 > 0:57:15You've made me very happy. You've made an old woman very happy.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17- Well, you've made... - And so has Miami!
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Oh, well done, yes.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22Here's to Miami and being happy.
0:57:22 > 0:57:23LOUD MUSIC
0:57:25 > 0:57:26Who's making that racket?
0:57:28 > 0:57:30Go away, you moron!
0:57:32 > 0:57:33Absolute morons.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39I'm slightly inebriated.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41You get pissed quick, don't you?
0:57:41 > 0:57:43- You are so naughty.- I know.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46- You have become quite naughty... - I know that.
0:57:46 > 0:57:47..over the last half-hour.
0:57:49 > 0:57:52I'm going to have a bit of a nap now.
0:57:53 > 0:57:55Gordon Bennett.
0:57:56 > 0:57:57Don't it ever end?
0:58:03 > 0:58:04We're in Japan!
0:58:04 > 0:58:06- It's exciting, isn't it? - Beautiful.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08It's brilliant, Rosemary.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11The group get to grips with growing old in Kyoto.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13If I lived here, I wouldn't be fat.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16Or, in Cockney, "lovely jubbly".
0:58:16 > 0:58:19- JAPANESE WOMAN:- Lovely jubbly. - LAUGHTER
