I'd love to tell you that Grandad's Back In Business (BBC2, Monday, 9pm) is a return to the screen by Clive Dunn. However, with Clive being dead, that may involve some kind of resurrection, and things like that are best saved 'til Easter aren't they? Grandad's Back In Business is actually a look at old people, and what they can offer to the country (as if they haven't given enough with their taxes and the small matter of a World War or two).

The government are seemingly intent on making us all work until we're a hundred years old (if you die before then, tough, your measly pensions go straight into the council coffers), but how realistic is it to assume that the older generation can get their hands on a job? Ageism obviously exists, so this show is out to prove that the geriatrics can still cut it at the sharp end... and in Monday's show, Grandpappy will literally be at the sharp end and cutting...

In an attempt to see just how vital our elders are (again... like we should even test something like this! Of course they're vital), the programme pits one young person against an older person against each other for the same job. In the first show, sprightly Raymond (a ripe old 60) takes on the very orange Rebecca (a surly 17) in the hope of landing a job as a trainee in a hairdressing salon in London. Whether this tackles the deeper questions about ageism and people's attitudes remains to be seen, but hopefully, this will offer more than your run-of-the-mill docu-reality thing.
