Life Begins at 50Monday 3 June 2002
At the age of 56, actress Joanna Lumley has just topped the chart of the Sexiest Brits Ever. So it's not surprising to discover that, according to the recently published Jubilee Report, life for women now begins at 50.

Jenni asks one of the authors of the report, Kate Fox, why she chose to put a spotlight on the lives of women over 50, and she asks actress Lynne Paul (53) and Novelist Rosie Thomas (54) why it's so good being members of the HRT generation.
