I'm 2.5 years younger (and it's my birthday soon, and it took my "new" age before I even get there!) which is good, as I probably was hard on myself answering the questions.

Which bright spark at the beeb considered this to be good Saturday night entertainment then ?

Have you ever had a stroke?
Have you EVER had cirrhosis?
Do you have diabetes?
Are you often depressed to a point that interferes with your daily lifestyle?

And aren't we all a bit bored of these self tests by now ?

Apparently, I'm 2 years and 4 months younger. Nice to be 40 again.

Your hyperlink's gone hyper.

Hmm, you obviously have to be over 21 to take this test. Confused

This "How Old Are You" crap was on seven in australia last year, and was utter crap.

Your 'real age' is: 20.4, but you could be younger!
Your age is: 21.7
Difference: -1.3

Arn't we also bored of the BBC thinking that every saturday evening programme has to feature a female newsreader as a side kick to the main host.

Wasn't this one of the last things commissioned by Lorraine Heggessey?
I am led to believe that the new controller (Peter Fincham isn't it) wants to take the channel more "upmarket". So one can only hope that this sort of drivel nwill be left to commercial broadcsters in future. I for one watched the superb movie premiere on BBC2 "The Royal Tenenbaums" instead. I even have a notion that with viewers drifting from Test The Nation that even this will soon be shelved. after all, there's not many more subjects it can tackle! Perhaps having the annual end of year quiz will suffice.

I didn't actually watch the thing, you understand... just took the test online. I'd seen The Royal Tennenbaums before and found it overrated, so spent much of the evening reading a book.

Goodness, life can just be such a social whirl sometimes...
