Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
The opening episode features 102-year-old John Errol Manners, from rural Wiltshire. A Royal Navy veteran who cheated death three times in the war, who is quite relaxed about his date with destiny even if he admits he likes to drive on the other side of the road because he claims he can see oncoming traffic better.
In Wales, the familiar face of centenarian Jock Stares travels around the Valleys on his trusty scooter. He celebrates his 101st birthday by taking a speed boat out with his son before taking a motorcycle assessment.
In the meantime, 93-year-old Jack Hearn makes it clear that he has no intention of failing his assessment. An international judo grand master, Jack can still throw a man over his shoulder and makes it clear he's not going to let a driving examiner spoil his day.
By the end of the programme, the elderly drivers all face the steely gaze of a driving examiner and answer the ultimate question – is it time to hand in the keys for good?
Episode 2
In the second episode, RoSPA have set up a temporary HQ at a biker café in Surrey to welcome an army of older drivers to sit their assessments, much to the surprise of the local motorcyclists in their leathers. Among the drivers who turn up for the day is 95-year-old John William Quince. He's spent the last 30 years living in Spain and wants an assessment to convince his kids he can drive in England. But will he remember to drive on the left?
Episode 3
Among the drivers in this episode are former tank commander John Hamilton, who has never actually taken a driving test. Geoffrey Gillow's daughter wants him to stop driving, but he is determined to pass with flying colours to show he is safe to drive. Former teacher Patricia Deacon needs to drive so she and her husband Geoff can get around, but she is not keen on anyone grabbing the steering wheel while she drives. Returning to the series are 100-year-old Mary Ellis and 98-year-old Harold Veazey, who last time almost ran into an articulated lorry.
