I suppose some would say it was workmanlike, but I think it suits the material, and gives it a calm, understated feel, rather than a shouty, patronising one of the kind that goes: 'Hey, look, old people do stuff!'

Win or lose, Ping Pong is a gentle, light-hearted and at times comedic testament to an active mind.

Rated: 3/5

I love the sport known as Ping-pong, or Table-tennis, and so this film is great to me. Very interesting.

Fab documentary, following some over 85s as they compete at the world table tennis championship. It just goes to show you are never too old. Very inspiring. One woman was 100!

The youngest person in this documentary is 80, the oldest 100. Still in the game. I would be happy if I can still walk unaided when I am 90, nevermind playing ping pong. Great documentary. Incredible mental strength and physically too.
