In one of documentary cinema's more remarkable enterprises, "49 Up" makes its U.S. broadcast premiere on PBS' "P.O.V." series on Tuesday, October 9 at 9 PM (check local listings) as the seventh in a series of films that has profiled a group of English children every seven years, beginning in 1964. Renowned director Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorky Park, Gorillas in the Mist) has doggedly pursued the series as the children have grown into adults, navigating the divide between childhood dreams and adult realities. "49 Up" revisits questions of love, marriage, career, class and prejudice — discovering unexpected turns in individual lives and surprising views of the Up film series itself.

@dav231988 No none of them had passed away at the last programme when they were 49 a few years ago. However, a couple have refused to continue participating in the series.

It also annoys me when Americans call women chicks. It doesn't matter what country it is, its disrespectful.

Calling women birds is the same as americans calling them chicks. It needn't annoy you because someone in another country uses their own national phrases for things.

The one who wanted to be a jockey was the least likeable, IMO.
