Attention Faslane retirees!

The BBC's renowned musical religious show is looking for older people who have eschewed their slippers for a life of activism and protest.

The programme will be filmed in September and October for screening on 23 November. Janis Knox, the programme researcher, told Eye that she's looking for people in their early sixties onwards.

'The programme will explore ageing and in particular the freedom older age brings to become involved in things you feel strongly about, political and social issues for example.'

Janis asked us if we knew of any older people who have been involved in non-violent resistance. 'You've come to the right place!', we told her.

She needs to hear from potential interviewees right away, so contact her on Janis.knox@bbc.co.uk or write to her at Room 5012, BBC North, New Broadcasting House, Oxford Rd, Manchester M60 1SJ.
