Format

The Belgian version of Around the World with 80-Year-Olds kicked off yesterday on VTM and proved again that seniors are anything but a bore. The touching and at times downright hilarious show scored an impressive 28.9% market share in the key demo and ended up being market leader in its time slot.
The show has also been a hit in other parts of Europe; in the Netherlands both two series performed well, and in Germany season two will launch later this year on ZDF after a successful first season. In Spain the format will launch later this year on Antena 3.

In <em>Around the World with 80-Year-Olds</em>, seniors who have not yet seen much of the world besides their own country, get to travel around the globe and see what they’ve been missing out on. Exploring foreign cultures, seeing exotic locations, and making their wildest dreams come true. Witness their amazement as these energetic seniors get ready for the best time of their lives!
