63UP

Watched all the episodes back to back a couple of years ago. Didn’t realize that a new one was due already. Fascinating show. Gonna have to do another binge watch.

Watched all of the 7 up programmes over the years - caught up with the earlier ones on box set must be 14 years ago now. Pretty interesting.

A lot of them of them panned out pretty much as expected with no real surprises.

It did turn out to be a decent enough cross section of kids to make it interesting enough. The usual run of marriages, divorces, lassies saying they don't want kids who then go on to have several, successful careers, not so successful careers etc.

The wee scouse boy Neil was the heartbreaker. Such a happy wee boy but seems to have led a life underpinned by sadness, loneliness and mental health issues.

Good we article on that kid. At least he now seems to have found a bit more contentment in his life.
