Director Michael Apted has made documentaries of the lives of the same English people every seven years for the last six decades. The beginning was this half-hour TV program.
The premise of the documentary is to cover seven-year olds from all regions and social strata of England – the people that will be 40 in the year 2000. He sure chose well.
I love this entire series. It’s fascinating to see how the kids change and stay the same.
