[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 332810, member: 23"] That was certainly the case with [I]35[/I], which is under two hours: twenty minutes shorter than the previous instalment. There are also a lot of recaps which is understandable since they aired years apart, but it adds to the feeling that there's not as much "new" material and consequently we spend less time with the participants as they are at the time of filming. It doesn't help that exactly the same few clips from [I]Seven Up![/I] have been reused in the last few instalments, which feels very repetitive when watching them so close together. I think earlier films were a little more thorough in picking out archive clips which tied in with a theme or comment in the new footage. [I]42[/I] is only a few minutes longer than [I]28[/I], but that's a definite improvement on [I]35[/I]'s running time. [I]28[/I] felt luxuriously long. [/QUOTE]
