Age ChicFriday 7 March 2003
Why, despite an ever-ageing population, do older people still feel ignored? We hear from the older people of Brighton who are determined to make their presence felt.

Sally Greengross, ex-Director of Age Concern and Phil Mullan, author of The Imaginary Time Bomb join Martha to discuss why older people can still feel ignored and how Grey Power plans to give a higher profile to the more mature citizen.
The Imaginary Time Bomb: Why an Ageing Population is Not a Social Problem by Phil Mullan, published by IB Tauris; ISBN 1-86064-452-X
