Pensioners are rolling back the years on the dance floor and, if figures of longevity are increasing in Wednesbury, it is all thanks to this group.

Wednesbury Town Hall Senior Citizens Sequence and Old Time Dance Group have just celebrated their 40th anniversary.

Come rain or shine, more than 80 pensioners meet every week to show off their fancy footwork to a variety of dances - and a third of them are over the age of 90. Among the dancers is 93-year-old Maud Kilvert who has been with the group for more than 30 years.

Video journalist Nicky Butler went along to meet the group.
