Television camera crews have visited a south Buckinghamshire residential home to interview three women who have recently celebrated their 100th birthdays.

During filming for a pilot programme on the increasing number of people turning 100, the Landmark Films team stopped off for a cup of tea and a chat with three residents in Holmer Green.

Still in production, the programme named ‘Happy 100th’ saw interviewers speak to residents of The Fremantle Trust’s Cherry Garth residential and dementia care home.

Jo Head, service manager at Cherry Garth, commented: “We have celebrated a number of 100th birthdays here at the home so it’s great to see our residents receive recognition for such a big milestone in their lives.

“Having the Landmark team visit the home was fantastic and everyone at the home thoroughly enjoyed it. Our interviewees; Josie, Stella and Dot were delighted to be chosen for this exciting opportunity.”

Emma Goddard, development executive at Landmark Films, explained: “We wanted to make a warm and engaging taster film that celebrates centenarians across the UK and explores the social history they have lived through.

“We were very thankful and privileged to have had the opportunity to speak to the residents at Cherry Garth and they have been a huge help in enabling us to develop our pilot, which we are hopeful will soon get commissioned.”
