70 Up

Yes, Im looking forward to hearing what they have to say.

I'm looking forward to it too, they are my age it will be interesting.

I think I have said this before but 10 boys and only 4 girls were picked, three of whom were friends at the same primary school.
I have held feminist views as far back as the early 70 s, so can’t understand why it took a while before I registered this inequality.
I look firward with some sadness to watching this very last 7Up on Tuesday 9 pm ITV.

I will definitely watch it. I imagine it will be bitter/sweet and very poignant. There have been a number of articles about it. Nick's last recording 3 days before he died. In a way they've all been very brave to keep coming back to it. Unwittengly put forward at 7 years old when they would certainly lack any judgement as to the effects of their lives being put under scrutiny every 7 years. I think viewers have maybe measured their own highs and lows against theirs. I imagine there will be a few tears shed, it's the very real passage of time, the bright eyed seven year olds morphing gradually into pensioners.

I intend to watch it.
Actually I might fill in watching the previous episodes too beforehand , as to be honest I’ve forgotten most of it.

It has been an engrossing series. One of the strengths has been the way some of the girls have "grown". Several lovely outcomes, a couple of sad ones. I used the videos in schools for many years.

It has to be one of the best documentaries ever, given the cohesion of Michael Apted being well known and there for the children as he was until he died recently.
