What we will be putting on our faces in the next few years to hide those wrinkles: in recent months, new products have come on the market which are the result of nanotechnology and advances in glycobiology - but what exactly are nanoparticles and glycans? And do they really make us look younger? With cosmetic surgery in confusion over breast implants and an ASA ruling against one of the world's leading cosmetic companies, we ask what we can believe when it comes to claims made for beauty products. One of our Women in Business Jo Pateman is up to her knees in mud as we find out how she and her pond clearing business are getting on. We've been following Women with Waders for the last 12 months while Jo's mentor, Nikki King the Managing Director of Isuzu Trucks UK Ltd has given her advice on business plans, HR, and health and safety policies. "The years after being 60 have, no question, been the happiest years of my life" - so says Virginia Ironside. She joins Jenni to discuss her one woman show and explain why boring for Britain, fun funerals, grandchildren and sex - or, even better, no sex - make the sixties the best and funniest time of your life.
