[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 332578, member: 33"] I too found this shocking. Even though I was aware of the overt racism that existed in the 1960s, to hear young children express those views so openly and without any shame or embarrassment was kind of jaw-dropping. He's great, isn't he? My favourites are probably Neil and Tony though. I hope not. The documentary is such a strong idea and has been very popular that I can imagine another TV production company taking it on although the issue would then be whether the participants would be happy to share their stories with someone else. As the participants enter their 70 and 80 it will be interesting to see how they cope with the challenges of getting old and how it mushy be different depending on their social background. Also, and this sounds a bit in bad taste, as they get older I'm fascinated to see which of them survive long enough to continue to contribute to the documentary because there was some discussion about mortality in [I]63 Up [/I]so it's also on the minds of the participants.
