When a man enters the period of life referred to as the 'third age' or is classified as one of Shakespear's 7 ages of man, namely the 6th (old age) or 7th (extreme old age or dotage), what options are left to him? For James Willoughby, at the age of 85, this is a productive and busy period in his long life. In Crime Busters United we learn about the activities he becomes engaged in, including observation leading to the detection of crimes, making new friends, counselling younger people, reprising a role undertaken in earlier life and even a romantic attachment.
