Product Description

Director Michael Apted's ground-breaking documentary series, begun in 1964, follows the lives of 14 seven-year-old children, returning every seven years to chart their progress. Initially viewed as an interesting social experiment to discover whether children's lives are predetermined by their backgrounds, the programme developed into something broader & deeper. In this seventh edition, twelve of the children, Tony, Bruce, Sue, Jackie, Suzy, Paul, Simon, Nick, Andrew, John, Lynn, & Neil have reached middle-age &, after all the ups & downs that life has thrown at them, seem to be content with the way their lives have turned out thus far.
