    I live in Bath and can tell you Jean brightens up this city no end! she's a breath of fresh air and I have always been in awe of her and her tremendous style...the programme didn't mention that her portrait was painted years ago and hung in Londons National Gallery!!

    I loved watching this video, I’m 59 years old and I’m on the threshold of turning 60. This video has done more for me in 40 minutes than I’ve had on weeks. I am going to dress how I want to not boring and dull.

I find life very exciting and challenging so I have no wish for that long dirt nap. But I know the day will come, and like these ladies, I just hope it is swift and while I'm asleep. Meanwhile, I plan to have as much fun as I can.

    There are two very important lessons in this film. #1: It is vital to know whose opinions truly matter, and, just as important, whose opinions do not matter. #2: Have a reason to go on, to get out of bed. A motivation to be alive. These are two things that are important at any age, but for most of us, it takes a lifetime to remove the superficial layers, to reveal the solid bedrock of our souls.

I wish that I could claim, completely, the concept as my own, but, in truth, there is a long line of influence, from the authors Sir Terry Paycheck and Quentin Crisp to many other sources so far back in my past that it's all a hazy mist. But then, that's life, isn't it? We encounter something that, like flint on steel, strikes a spark in us, then it is up to us to nurture that spark that grows into a flame that warms our soul.

I'm 61 now, and i was just thinking I need to "tone down" on the youthful styles. I have a ton a beautiful and amazing dresses and fun clothes that I was getting ready to put away and probably get rid of. Not now! Thank you ladies, you have given me back my courage to rock my awesome clothes! P.S. Most of them are either from costume stores or charity shops.

These women are paving the way to the old but not quite seen and believed ideology that the age is no match to the spirit. Being 80 and above doesn't mean you have to be old on your rocking chair. It's about keeping your spirit youthful without being childish. It's about not stopping life just because you are a certain age. It's about living and living fully no matter the age. I'm going to start exercising now coz they make me so ashamed about how agile they are compared to me and I'm only 47. I'm really amazed and inspired by how they maximize their lives. ❤️

At 63, I still wear leggings and mini skirts and lots of color- I gave up my car and I walk/bus everywhere.

In contrast, I dress every day as if I'm going to a special event and it amuses and pleases folks who come up to me and comment on my Mohawk and look -- I think it brightens their day after seeing all these murky earth tones.

As our populations age, I see a real need for something more than glossy magazines like Vogue that views itself as inspirational - but it’s obvious their target market is largely younger people. There should be a magazine for older women - everyday women, those with an inspirational life, gifted women who have had or are still enjoying interesting lives. Advertisers should court this older age group given many are well and willing to spend. Come on ladies, time is of the essence!

    This was so good to watch. I am 58, working my career. Bored with it. These ladies remind me that I have a while to keep myself fit and happy. Just may like to do things a little different. Stay engaged. I just feel tired of engaging sometimes.

    Loved it. Interesting people remain interesting no matter how old. Actually, maybe become more and more interesting. I am 80 and don’t feel old, though I don’t look like I remember myself. But then I remind myself that it’s just the way it is and nobody looks that way. Nobody cares much except we do. I do. But I won’t be unhappy about it, it’s not worth it.

    Thanks so much, I remember this documentary first time round - must be about 10 years ago (I just looked it up and I was spot on, it debuted in 2013). How many of these fabulous old broads are still alive? Sadly I know Jean Barker, Baroness Trumpington died in 2018 at the astonishing age of 96, and choreographer Gillian Lynne (87 in this), left us the same year aged 92.

    “Im not going in the scrap heap”…right! I get the feeling that these women took care of themselves (especially their flexibility) to some degree and that is a huge part of vigor and beauty. People rave over my clothes (all charity shops) and style but I just find it fun. I always lay out my clothes the night before too. I’m not necessarily eccentric but I’m usually more “dressed” than others, wherever I go. I’m only 61 but I consider dignity a necessity, which includes style and fun, not the opposite! I love good style and excellent lines are indispensable for looking great. I’ve learned from many other elegant people in my life, and I’m really grateful.

    Absolutely one of the best videos on aging! I'm 76, don't feel 76 and try every day to not let 76 in! I stole that from Clint Eastwood! Lol! He was asked what it felt like to be 91, he said every day when he gets up, he doesn't let 91 in, so he doesn't know what 91 feels like....I think that statement is very appropiate to repeat for this video! None of these ladies pay a minute of attention to their ages and neither do I. Why should we conform to what society suggests where and what our place is....Don't like what I have on....don't look! Thank you to all these lovely ladies who shared their wisdom, fashion and if lucky enough to still be of reasonable health, how to put aging behind us!!

    Most older women say they would love a younger guy. I'm 58 and I want someone my age or older. I have men in their thirties who want to date me but I just can't seem to do it. I feel very uncomfortable if the guy beside me is younger than me, or shorter than me, or weighs less than me!! So, I guess the only problem here is me!
