Nine celebrities embark on an experimental adventure to Udaipur in India, to test whether they can set up a more rewarding retirement than in the UK. Selina Scott, Susan George, Stephanie Beacham, Syd Little, Peter Dean, Bob Champion, Stanley Johnson and the Krankies are the volunteers. However, while veteran of India Stanley throws himself into the experiment with aplomb, Selina is unsure about the group living arrangements and first-time curry eater Bob struggles with the diet.
