Family
Great-Grandparents 27 March 2008
Great-grandparents
Will we be the only generation with a significant number of great-grandparents?


It may surprise you to know that our era may one day be seen as the golden age of Great-grandparents, but sadly, it could be coming to an end. So how important are Great-grandparents? And do they have a unique role within the family?  Professor Sarah Harper, Director of the Oxford Institute of Ageing and Jane Fearnley Whittingstall, author of the Good Granny Guide  join in the studio debate.
