70 Up - ITV teaser for "later this year"

[Rostio]

This looks fabulous!

My favourites Neil, Symon and Bruce are mentioned, Suzy and Charles return to the programme and tributes to the lovely Nick, Lynn and of course Michael Apted.

Lots of coverage out today. E.g. https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/documentaries/itv-7-up-series-finale-announced-newsupdate/

I’ve been rewatching the past episodes in readiness. These are my near contemporaries and some episodes are quite an emotional watch. It’s a privilege to have been able to share the participants’ lives from childhood to closing years. I think there’s much to learn about finding peace with where you are in life.

Also it’s been a really good way of showing my DC what life was like for us growing up.

Im so glad they’re doing the final episodes. Theyre my contemporaries as well; I can remember watching the first episode with my parents and brother, and Ive watched it every 7 years since.

I’ve been watching since 35 Up so it feels like a huge chapter that’s closing as it won’t be continuing. Good to see Suzy back.

Yes, it will be bittersweet.

Watched 28 up in sociology at school as that was the most recent one then !!

I was introduced to this programme at school and have been fascinated by it since. I’m looking forward to it. I always look out for Neil in particular. He was such a lovely, bright, happy child that it was distressing to see his decline as an adult, though good to see things did improve for him later on.
