Our Lives Strand (BBC One Northern Ireland)

Angela Scanlon meets the Donnelly family from rural County Armagh, thought to be the oldest group of siblings in the world. Collectively they add up to an incredible 1,064 years. In a film that looks at what it means to grow older in today’s society, we follow the family as they attempt to get a world record.
