Now We Are Sixty. On the verge of her sixtieth Birthday, Jenni Murray takes a look at the differences between the baby-boomers and the sixty year old women of previous generations. As the women who were born in the years immediately after the war reach 'senior' status, what will their priorities be and is sixty really the new forty? Jenni Murray celebrates her sixtieth Birthday with Helena Kennedy QC who was born on the same day. Also on the programme: Liz Shorrocks [sociologist and Course Director of Creative Writing at the University of Bradford], and journalists Eve Pollard, Minette Marrin and Sarah Vine.
