So Your Parents are Old
Behind the nonchalant title, Vanessa Grigoriadis leans on first-hand experience in this show about the often exhausting, confounding experience of caring for an ageing parent. Her first guest is Leeza Gibbons, a US talkshow host who set up a centre for carers. While hers is a singular tale – complete with a stint on Celebrity Apprentice – it offers comfort and practical advice to those who find themselves in a similar position. Hannah J Davies
