Still interesting, in some cases fascinating, to see how these lives have developed but there's a lot of duplicated footage, and it's a shame that two of the public school educated men didn't wish to participate.

Fourth installment of the Up series. This is the first episode that really pays big dividends for having followed the series. The participants' range of journeys really spreads out, from budding nuclear physicist(!) to jobless countryside wanderer. Many of them are also suddenly married with kids. And class divisions weigh lightly as, for now, most appear to be complacent with the lots they've drawn.

This is the entry that centers on money, with most of the crew making crucial decisions about work and family life, along with how much money they need for their standards of living. There's finally enough footage to draw upon so that there can be some interesting comparisons and contrasts within each subject. Also, big up to John, the rich dude who, upon reviewing his footage from the previous installments, "had nothing to add."

I watched this one as a 28-year-old so obviously I can relate to it better than you.

did you know even poor brits can play golf? WOW!

There's not much I can say about 28 Up that I haven't already said about its predecessors and successors: they together represent the ultimate truth that the drama of everyday life is just as gripping as the greatest story concocted by the greatest imagination. We don't realise it day to day, but it's easy to see across the course of seven years that our existences are the most poignant cosmic dramas, finely balanced between hope and disappointment, happiness and depression, healthiness and death. This series doesn't just chronicle life; it is life.

Still interesting, in some cases fascinating, to see how these lives have developed but there's a lot of duplicated footage, and it's a shame that two of the public school educated men didn't wish to participate.

Best as part of the full series.
