Season 1:
The latest instalment of the ground-breaking, award-winning documentary series from director Michael Apted returns to visit the people whose lives have been followed since they were seven.
In this episode we catch up with Bruce, the boarding school boy who was filmed, aged 7, missing his daddy. Growing up, he longed to be a missionary in Africa, but chose a teaching career in the UK instead. As retirement looms, he reflects on his life and work.
In this final episode, Paul and Symon - who were filmed at 7 growing up in the same children's home - have an emotional reunion in Australia where Paul emigrated as a teenager. We catch up with Neil, one of the series' most memorable characters with perhaps the most dramatic course of life events.
