7-up, 49-up

[sunflower68]

Really pleased to hear Michael Apted is doing another one of these documentaries charting the lives of a bunch of people every 7 years..........can't believe they are 49 now!!!  I remember the cute boy who became a bit of a recluse in scotland.  He was doing ok though, 7 years ago.  Anyone actually remember this prog?

It's just been on 'ITV 50 years' that the programme is back later in the year.

Look forward to it every 7 years sunflower.  They are same age as my husband.  I remember Tony the taxi driver.  And wasn't there a guy living on the streets for a while who is now gone into local politics or have I got that wrong.

Yes Peri I too remember Tony.  He used to want to be a jockey as a cheeky little 7 year old.  I think the guy who became a recluse eventually buddied up with the sweet little boy who lived on a farm.  They always kept in touch, apparantly.
