this was confirmed by scientists from the university of edinburgh, they conducted one of the longest-termudies of longevity factors, from 1936 to the present day they observed fifty residents of scotland, so a third of the test subjects had never done gardening, and 43% cultivated a vegetable garden regularly. which is very important, with whom we compare and make some conclusions, and especially in medicine, in the medical field, in the medical community, if we are talking about young people, just starting to live, well of course yes, any physical activity, including a vegetable garden, a summer house, a garden, is great, a lot of energy, a large reserve, why not, but if we are talking about the elderly, here it is necessary to distinguish between age periods, they also start from their youth, this is a hobby for a long time, no, look, after all, as we usually say, i do not agree with you, it is customary to say, than we we get older, the more we are on the earth, of course, everyone knows this, everyone has heard this, everyone wants flowers, everyone no longer wants a disco, or a night

>> well, as someone who actually commanded a university officer training corps, the edinburgh universityction and respect for those institutions. >> however, i think that forced is probably too rigid, i would say strongly encouraged , because say strongly encouraged, because there's a lot that they can learn from serving in the officer training corps . plus, of officer training corps. plus, of course, they get paid and they generally have the cheapest bars in any university in the land. so not forced, but encouraged because i think there's a lot to because i think there's a lot to be learned from serving in the cadet forces, and there's no compulsion to join the regular armed forces afterwards. so it's really a university only, thing . really a university only, thing. >> richard, if she was to join the armed forces afterwards. how do you think that goes down with the members of the public? do they look and say, well done, her? she's got herself a job? >> well, i think i mean, i'm assuming that if she were to join the armed forces and particularly the army afterwards, she would probably t

i was chosen in 1964 to be a part of the oxford university revue at the edinburgh festival. this completely changed my life because there i was, with a slight worry about performing in front of large audiences, performing to full houses every night. the revue was very, very popular. david frost came to see us, you know, some talent—spotting and all that. who would have been a massive star at the time, because he was hosting... that was the week that was. ..that was the week that was at that time. yes. were you aware that frost was in the audience? oh, yes. yes. i suddenly realised that there was... ..a possibility of my using the things i could really do fairly well, which was sort of tell stories, um, make people laugh, um, and, you know, act characters. suddenly there was a little glimpse that perhaps there was a future in just writing and doing comedy. so that was why, i mean... and that's the way i went in the end. you mentioned david frost coming to see you that night. it was probably a couple of years later that you ended up writing for david frost on the frost report.

universal winter fuel payments for scottish pensioners. let's speak to our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon, who's in edinburgh.his have on people? well, sophie, the scottish finance secretary has put the brakes on spending in a pretty dramatic fashion. schonert robson has written to her cabinet colleagues asking them to constrain all but essential spending. —— shona. ithink them to constrain all but essential spending. —— shona. i think she is laying the groundwork for what will be some pretty difficult decisions ahead. one of those came today with the announcement that the scottish covenant will follow the uk government and scrap universal winter fuel payments for pensioners going forward. it will be means tested. it is not clear where else the axe will fall. some speculation about whether or not the scottish government might shrink the provision, for instance, of free school meals or whether they will reverse the decision to scrap peak—time railfares. shona robson would not be drawn on that, but she was clear that it was down in part to the public sector pay deals. the government recently had to find an extr
