Child of our Time

[AmandinePoulain]

Is anyone else looking forward to this on Wednesday? I love finding out how they're getting on. I have a real soft spot for Eve, I cried buckets when her mum died . I can't wait to see them as teenagers

I'd almost forgotten about this! I followed it avidly for several years as they were all born around the same time as ds. Will definitely catch up.

Yes! I'd love to watch some of the previous episodes again though. Does anyone know if they're online anywhere?

When's it on?

I love child of our time. They're almost exactly the same age as DS1.

I'm looking forward to it. Dd1 is the same age so has been particularly relevant to us.

Alison Lapper was so impressive at a time I was struggling with one dd.

9pm on Wednesday

I'd really like to watch the early ones again. Especially now I have young children myself. I've looked online and I can't find them. I wonder if the BBC would ever show them again. Even if not at prime time, we could record them.

ooh yes, me too. DS was born around the turn of the millennium, so I also find it really interesting.

Oh, thanks for posting this :)

Been following it from the start, but didn't know there was a new series this week. My DS is the same age too, and I've loved seeing how their lives all change round each time.

Love this. DS was born in July 2000 so find myself comparing x

I've found it frustrating, especially in the early years. DD was born in Jan 2000, and the programmes seemed to be full of "you have a window between 6m old and 9m old when they are particularly receptive to Mozart", and I'd think "Thanks a bunch, missed the chance to try that one!"

DD2 was born in Feb 2000 so I have always followed this too. Looking forward to catching up again.

Ooh I didn't know this was going to be on, thanks

Although I love it, every time it's been on I've dreaded hearing that Shelbie is no longer with us. Anyone know how she is?

Thanks for the heads-up. I love this programme!

Thanks, I watched this the first few years, but seem to have missed it the last few years. One of the mums on it was my neighbour across the road when I was a child.

lee you are thinking of Born to Be Different.

Dd2 and I looking forward to this as she is a millennium babe as well.

I don't think 'Shelbie' was in Child of our time.
Think that was an itv program about children with disabilities.

DS is a little older but I love the programme.

According to wiki they haven't done one since 2010.

I love this and have set it to record. The last time I watched it was probably around 5 years ago, have they done anymore since then that I've missed? Eve's mum had died on the last series I watched. I cried buckets too :( they only live a few miles away from here.

Thanks for making the thread OP, I'll catch up on 4od/iplayer, whichever it's on. I've found all the clips I can on the internet and watched them, but I didn't watch them as they all came on TV. Glad they're not discontinuing it like the rumours said!

I love the twins, the Scottish ones- bags of character Ivo and Alex?

DS1 was born in Feb 2000, so I've been following it with interest.

I've always had a soft spot for Helena :)

I was watching cbeebies a few years ago and spotted Alex & Ivor in the balamory nursery!
