Filming underway on Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds

ABC  began filming its 2019 factual series Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds earlier this month.

Co-produced by ABC and Endemol Shine Australia, the series is based on a UK format in which a group of pre-schooler interact with retirement home residents.

Over a period of seven weeks, our two groups of ten elderly and ten pre-schoolers, will be brought together for planned, mixed activities with experts monitoring the progress of both groups throughout.

Endemol Shine Australia CEO, Mark Fennessy said: “Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds is a carefully crafted mix of Science, Heart & Humour. With its unique cast of characters from two fundamentally different worlds it has the potential to be the most insightful, uplifting and talked about show of 2019”.

“Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds is another fine example of what the ABC does best – asking questions and finding solutions to important issues in our society. This clever and inspiring series does that with incredible warmth and great heart as it explores the increasing isolation and loneliness of older Australians.” said Steve Bibb, ABC Head of Factual.

Production Credits: Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds is an Endemol Shine Australia production in association with the ABC. Executive Producer Debbie Cuell, Series Producer Brooke Hulsman, and ABC Commissioning Editor Julie Hanna.
