I bought this dvd soon after I saw a trailer for this ongoing social documentary recently. We are now up to 56 Up. I saw the first few installments when I was at school and was hooked. So I was delighted to be able to buy this product and catch up with the participants again before watching 56 Up. Over the weekend before 56 Up aired, I zoomed through the installments, 7 Up, 14 Up, 21, 28, 35 etc all the way to 49 up. It was quite surreal watching the children age so fast, seven years at a time, but by the end of the weekend I was all caught up and ready for the next part which wasn't on the disc. Being quite an inquisitive (or nosey) person I was facinated to see what kind of people the children turned out to be, whether they married or not, what names they gave to their children and so forth. So far as social statement goes, I never really went there. My favourite intallment has to be 7 Up. Who could ever forget Tony who wanted to be a jockey or Neil who wanted to be an astronaut but if he couldn't be an astronaut he wanted to be a coach driver. Thoroughly enjoyable viewing.Read full review
Enjoyed watching 7 up when I was young so decided to buy this box set. Very interesting to see how each 7 year old child had changed and progressed in their lives and how their upbringing had impacted (subconsciously or not) on their life choices. If you watch the DVD's one after the other it seems a bit repetitive because there is a short overview of each person over the previous years, however remembering the films were only aired on TV every seven years you understand the need to review each child's progress. I would recommend this box set.
I recalled watching the original 7plus 7 and the subsequent revisits as these kids grew up and matured . A must for anyone’s film / documentary library

I loved watching these dvds, took me back to my younger days. I love watching the characters as they grow through life with there ups and downs, just as we were in them days. my favourite is the lad who wanted to be a jockey and how it was so important to be able to fight. they were the days, what fun we had, but we were all the same. (sorry about the spelling, the education was not so great for me in the 1960s but i loved my childhood. )
the first reality show. Unbelievable data for the intellect.
