56 Up

This video, airing in 2012, is the most recent video from the series. The participants in this series are far from the seven year olds in the very first video. Time seems to have flown by in this (so far) 49 year journey. Together the world has seen them grow up, get married, move, find jobs, endure illness, have kids, and face everything else life has thrown at them. below you can see the comparison between their seven year old selves and their fifty-six year old selves.

Life is a wonderful thing and we are so lucky that these people have open up their lives to us. Through this series we are not only able to see how people change and progress, but also how the world has changed and progressed. 

"Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man".

That is the bases of the whole series. I feel that the saying has rung true. Looking back I can see the seven year old child in the fifty- six year old adult. Their life may change, their ambitions may change, but their personality remains. Their character traits make them who they are and nothings changes that, not even age.
