Why do older people need free TV anyway?
The BBC is considering removing the right to free TV for the over 75s. But free TV is far from a luxury for older people. For many, it's a lifeline.
Ricky Tomlinson and the people who'll be affected if the change goes ahead tell us why TV is a comfort, a friend, and a window to the world.
Watch the video and, if you agree with us, sign our petition to keep TV free.

Are men more lonely?
That's something we might never know, but a new study supported by Age UK shows that older men are much less likely to admit they're lonely. They're also more likely than women to experience social isolation when a partner dies.

Will the #AgeGapTax hit you?
Changes to the benefits system in May mean mixed age couples â where one person is over the State Pension age and one isn't â won't be able to claim pension age benefits like they can now. This could have a huge financial impact on the income of some couples.
