There’s something quietly extraordinary about the Up series — checking in every seven years and realising you’ve been growing older alongside them.
I’ve followed it for decades, and every instalment feels like catching up with old friends… their lives, their choices, their joys and regrets. It’s one of the most human pieces of television ever made.
Really looking forward to the final chapter, 70 Up, a fitting end to a series that has captured a lifetime.
