The original 7 Up, broadcast in 1964 as a World in Action special, featured chiIdren from wideIy different social backgrounds sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. lnspired by WorId in Action founder editor Tim Hewat's passionate interest in both the Jesuit saying: 'Give me the chiId untiI he is seven and I wilI show you the man', and 1960s Britain's rigid class system, this unique, groundbreaking series set out to discover how far the chiIdren's Iives were pre-determined by their background.
Director Michael Apted has returned every seven years to chart the group's progress, documenting the participants as they have become adults and entered middle-age, dealing with everything Iife has thrown at them in between; the very first example of a programme recording real people Iiving real Iives this landmark series has won an array of awards.
56 Up, broadcast in 2012, returns to visit the people whose lives have been publicly tracked since they were seven, and sees more of the original Iine-up taking part than ever before, with one participant, Peter, deciding to re-join the series after almost 30 years. |
