"THESE pensioners are livening up their retirement home  by competing with each other on the Nan-tendo Wii.

Residents as old as 103 have ditched knitting and bridge after getting hooked on the console.

Barrie Edgar, 88, said: “It’s great fun. We’ve only had it a few days but we can’t put it down.â€ÂÂ

Jayne Naylor, director of the Sunrise Home in Birmingham, said it took off after a chef brought in one of the motion-sensitive consoles which mimic sports like tennis, bowling, and boxing.

“Most residents are in their 80s and 90s.

“Things have got quite compettive.†"
