[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 332811, member: 33"] Having read your review of 28 Up I think this was the first episode I watched. I went into it with no prior knowledge of the characters although I had heard of the show and its premise. What first fascinated me about it was how interesting it was to see ordinary people living what was in most cases just ordinary lives. Tony is very watchable and why he was one of my favourite characters on the show. He always seemed very comfortable chatting on camera, in fact he seemed to relish the limelight. He also is brutally honest and open and quite happy to discuss any aspect of his life which makes him so captivating to watch. While most of the participants at this stage were conforming to societal norms and expectations, (in work, marriage, children, divorce, etc.) Neil's life was the most unpredictable and from purely an entertainment point of view, the most engrossing to watch. Seeing him homeless after seeing clips of him in earlier episodes was shocking and his mental state seemed fragile and deteriorating. I remember at the front feeling worried for him and was genuinely concerned if he would survive to participate in the next update. [/QUOTE]
