Amazing instalment of up series, 30 May 2006
9/10
Author: paul from United Kingdom

'give me a child when he is seven and i will show you the man' I have watched all the prior instalments of this programme, with 42up being the best. This instalment is the 7th in the series and will probably be the last one where none of the characters hasn't passed away.

The Up Series is one of the first 'reality' type TV documentary programmes.

I have been gripped by the programme since the beginning, particularly as one of the principle characters is also from my area. (Neil- also from Merseyside.) This instalment is one of the best, with updates on all but a few who starred in the original episode.

The heartwarming moment where we find out what has happened to Neil is most welcome.

i happened to miss this when it was first shown on TV but fortunately managed to get a copy from Ebay.

49up is still proof of that privilege and class are still advantages as much in 2006 as they were when the series was first shown in 1963.
