70 Up will be shown next year

Thanks Doodlebug

Such an innovative idea, and I have seen all programmes. It will be interesting to see where they are now - some no longer alive, sadly.

It would be interesting to see all the programmes in order, on consecutive nights

It is available on ITVX if you want to see it all.

They usually show back stories of the participants when talking to them.

I have to say I was not keen on the girls/women. One was very surly. I liked Tony who became a jockey and the posh one who did not appear in some of the later programmes. He was a private school boy who wanted to be a judge.

I am surprised I didn’t even notice the ratio of girls to boys until later. There were more than twice as many boys as there was girls.
It says a lot about the times and attitudes at that time.

I’m hoping to watch as usual.

I really liked Neil but most of my fellow students liked Tony who did do what he wanted to do at 7, he became a jockey.

My favourite was Nick Hitchon, the farmer's son who wanted to go to the moon.

Sadly, Nick won't be in the next programme as he died two years ago.

RIP Nick

We've watched it all through our married life, the participants are a year older than us. It's been a real privilege to share their stories 😊

They were a year older than me, I have enjoyed watching it though the years.

I look forward to it.

It always brings tears to my eyes.

I love this programme and still have some of the previous ones recorded.

We are all heading down the same road, and it is interesting - and sometimes very moving - to see how their journey has been at different stages.

I'll be watching - I'm the same age as the participants. Looking forward to it, but agree that it will be bitter sweet.

Bitter sweet it will be but, yes, I’ll be watching it, too.

I have loved following it and look forward to 70 up

I've followed it through the years, sadly a couple of them have now died.

I meant to say comparing and contrasting….

Will definitely watch.

Apologies for typos delete go trashing do nt know where that came from

The latest Up is to be shown next year .
I have watched from the first programme and found it fascinating. The children who were interviewed whdn they were 7 are now 70 and those who have followed their stories will be as pleased as I am that despite Michael Apted’s death a couple of years ago it is to be continued as was his wish.
I think they should start again with 7 year olds who have come through COVID necause comparing snd go trashing lives of children in the 50 s is very different to those born this century. It’s a fascinating watch.

me too, am same age as participants and have followed it through the ages. Hopefully many are still willing to participate
