7- Up Series

Has anyone been following this over the years? Michael Apted, the man behind the camera, is in his 70s now and we are due for the next installment I think in 2019. Are they filming? Does anyone know anything?

Friends who live across the pond, are you guys hearing anything about the series?

I highly recommend this if you are fascinated by human nature. Here is an article about the work. I only skimmed it so maybe it answers my above questions? When I have time, I'll read the whole thing. But for those of you who don't know about the show, or who might be intrigued, this should give you a nice little run down of what it's all about.

I've seen the first three or four. I remember there was one guy who was living in the wilds of Scotland or someplace if I remember correctly. I find it a bit disconcerting. I don't like how you might see one of them as a happy kid and then when they're older problems or something. I think I saw the last one around 2005.

The new one is out there, people are watching it on something called ITV Hub? When will it be on PBS or Netflix or another service? Bev Vincent , have you gotten to see it yet?
