Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Get ready for a wild ride with Rosie Brown, the sassy sixty-something determined to show the world that age is just a number.

Her mission to take control of her life begins when she gets out of bed and realises that every part of her is starting to creak. All she's done is lie down for eight hours, but she has the sort of neck pain that a younger person would associate with severe whiplash from a multi-car pile-up.

There are so many clicks and clacks from her creaking joints it sounds like someone’s knitting next to her as she walks. Serenaded by knitting needles when she used to be serenaded by handsome young men. How on earth did this happen?

She catches her reflection and gasps - when did she start looking like her own grandmother? But hold onto your dentures, folks, because Rosie's not going down without a fight!

On the brink of divorce, disillusioned, and desperately eyeing those comfy Clarks shoes, Rosie decides it's time to dust off her leopard print and channel her inner twenty-something.

What follows is a hilarious journey of self-rediscovery that'll have you laughing, crying, and cheering from the sidelines.

Watch Rosie trade her sensible slacks for sassy stilettos as she shimmies through dance classes, leaving a trail of shocked faces and dropped jaws in her wake. Will her ex-husband Derek's eyes pop out of his head when he sees the new Rosie? You bet your bingo wings they will!

But the real fun begins when Rosie meets her new partners in crime - a gang of sixty-something troublemakers who prove that mischief has no age limit. From crashing singles mixers to staging senior citizen flash mobs, these golden girls are painting the town red... and maybe a few other colours they can't quite remember the names of.

Will Rosie find love again? Will she rediscover her zest for life? Or will she end up in a mobility scooter drag race down Main Street?

‘Sassy and Sixty’ is a heartwarming tale that proves it's never too late to rewrite your story - even if you need reading glasses to see the page.

So grab your most outrageous hat, pour yourself a cheeky glass of sherry, and get ready to join Rosie on the adventure of a lifetime!
