Perhaps there should be a remake of 'Glittering Prizes'...
They could at least air it again on BBC Four or iPlayer. And maybe ITV could do the same for his follow-up After the War (fat chance).

Johnny Ball, 83. It'd somehow completely escaped my attention that he's Zoe Ball's dad! Wonder if he's still a climate change denier?

Bud Grant, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings 1967-1983. 94 years old.
It keeps on being counterintuitive bc he seemed old even in the 1970s due to premature greying of the hair
