The Hairy Bikers have launched a new BBC Two campaign to help lonely elderly people.
Their new show Old School - inspired by their previous Meals on Wheels series - will see the duo linking up a local secondary school with pensioners who are feeling isolated.
The campaign, said to be based on Us and Japanese schemes, will see David Myers and Simon King bringing up to 30 retired people into a school.
The Hairy Bikers are hoping that not only will the school's pupils give the pensioners some comfort, but the retirees will help to teach the students.
"This series is about two generations who have more in common with each other than they might at the start think - both groups are undervalued and often ignored by the rest of society, neither considered truly responsible for themselves - joining forces to demonstrate what they can achieve together," BBC Two said.
