Following from a recent thread I thought some of you might be interested in watching this. It's a repeat and a follow up of an excellent documentary series from the 80s called '40 minutes'.

40 minutes

Great! I'll be watching. I don't think they do these follow-ups enough. They spark your interest in someone, then....that's it.
I loved Seven Up..was it called? You know the one where they followed a mixed bunch of 7year olds at age 14, 21, etc etc.

Yes Seven Up was great, absolutely fascinating.

Bump for anyone else who might be interested!

Thanks Mercy! I remember the original very well and have often wondered how Alison and her husband have fared since
