Looking for help

[lucierichards]

Hello

I was wondering if you might be able to help me.

My name is Lucie and I am working on an ITV documentary about the UK's oldest drivers.

I would love to find the oldest motorhome or caravan driver, and wondered if anyone knows of a caravan or motorhome driver who is in their late 80s, 90s or even 100+!

I'd love to hear from anyone who thinks they might be able to help.

I'm contactable on lucie.richards@rdftelevision.com

Many thanks!

Hi Lucie, welcome to the amazing world of motorhoming!
Before everyone piles in and tells you how incredibly old they are, can you just give me a bit of reassurance?
Other channels (not yours, obviously) have recently done very well at the expense of vulnerable members of the community (think "Benefits Street!"), and there are lots of stories of people who took part in programmes which turned out to be quite hurtful for them.
"A documentary about the UK's oldest drivers" could either have a "Well done guys, keep it up" flavour, or could be more along the lines of "Why do we still let these old *****s keep driving?"
I'd like some idea of where you're going with this, before I encourage people to get into your project.
Once you do that, I can e-mail you with some other sites and FB groups where you might find some more of the people you're looking for, as well as the brilliant gang on here.

There has been a program about older drivers , some of which were 100 . Some came across as idiots, which I am sure they where not in real life, just behind the whell
