Documentary series about Chelsea Pensioners. The Hospital must shape up for the 21st century and the Pensioners make their views clear to the new top brass.
Documentary series about the Chelsea Pensioners, former British soldiers who live in the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. The Hospital has been told it needs to shape up for the 21st century. From cybercafes and a gym to discussions about whether to have en-suite bathrooms in the Grade 1-listed berths, the Pensioners make their views clear to the modernising new top brass. Arnhem veteran Vic Massingham is unfazed by the upheaval, determined only to retain his bowls club crown.
