This is a great program. A few of the stories stick with the viewer ... for me, the man who had mental illness but by 35 or 42 seemed to recover somewhat. I am not sure what happened to him. I also wondered a lot about the people who dropped out at a relatively young age. Wasn't there an American version started at one point? I remember seeing the first episode when the kids were 7 (probably in the early 2000s) but I don't know if it was ever continued.
