The Up! Series is well worth watching. If you want to see how British people think about class, or if you are just curious about how people's lives evolved, how they interacted with events in history.
- gnfargbl 6y agoI think "if you want to see how British people thought about class fifty years ago" might be more accurate. There are still strong echoes, but the overall dynamics are different today. Take Tony (a participant in Up) and look at his experiences in the 1980s and 1990s. That's probably a good example of some of the changes that took place.
- orzig 6y agoThat’s precisely what is so amazing about it, relative to even a well-captured snapshot in time
- bmsleight_ 6y agoIts such a great piece of history. Something that was not possible until this century, but an pure history. I feel sorry for the people involved who may not have been able to correct consent at 7 years old. But it show real human sprit - adoption to foster carer. Mental health to over coming mental health and real friendship. Best TV ever. No doubt.
