70 is definitely the new 20 in this heart-warming portrait of the Darby and Joan Club for elderly people in the Stepney Green area of east London. Sprightly septuagenarian Annie Wood heads to the club every Wednesday and Friday to meet her equally fun-loving friends, Lilly, Maud and Sarah - but not before downing a swift half in her local pub. All four women are surely worthy of 'national treasure' status.
