BBC2 Grandad is Back in BusinessGrandad’s Back in Business is a new four-part TV series that goes out at 9pm on Monday nights. Each programme follows an older candidate – aged between 50 and 65, as they try to break back into the industry in which they once worked. Pitted against them is a younger candidate looking for their first break. 

In the first episode, 60-year-old unemployed hairdresser Raymond goes for a full-time job at a top London salon. He is up against 17-year-old Rebecca in a month-long probationary test.

Who got the job? If you’ve got access to a cable or satellite time-shifting service you may still be able to view the programme. But here’s a clip that doesn’t spoil the ending.

Next week two comedians, one aged 62 and the other 25, compete for a year-long contract at a comedy club.

Reaction to first episode with Raymond and Rebecca (note: contain spoilers).
