This week we are up to episode three and it's been a joy to watch. Here in Australia it's on Tuesday nights at 8.30 pm on the ABC.

Glad you enjoyed it, Jean. For those in Australia you should be able to see all the episodes on iView.

Looks like this recent show is based on the UK show. Looking forward to the fifth edition tonight.
The five-part series, based on the pioneering UK version, follows 11 older Australians aged from their 70s to their 90s and 10 pre-schoolers over a period of seven weeks of planned activities such as painting, gardening, group walks and social interaction.

Here we go again. Just watched the first of a new series here in Oz. The smile never left my face :D wonderful stuff on the ABC. So those in Oz can catch-up on iView. Hope that old Scots lady sticks with the program.
In this second social experiment, eleven older adults who live alone in their own homes, have volunteered to be "mature age kindergarteners" by spending time with a group of 4-year olds at a specially designed preschool.
