About: With a combined age of almost 300, Hetty, Rose and Alison love to share their impassioned concerns on everything from terrorism and global warming to sex, death and the meaning of life. But despite their unstoppable enthusiasm and disarming humour, all three women are not simply ready for death Ð they actively want to die.At the end of lives lived with passion and purpose, Hetty, Rose and Alison bring to the screen a rare perspective on old age. Surprising, poignant and at times very funny, The Time of Their Lives reveals the everyday mystery of how very old people experience life and the effects of age on their sense of identity and worth. Like first-hand witnesses who have gone ahead and report back from the edge of their own mortality, they tell us things of which no-one ever speaks.
