[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 444188, member: 33"] The [I]Up [/I]series is as brilliant, as always. It's sad that this is the end but if it has to finish, [I]70 Up[/I] seems to be the right point to do it. Watching the new episode this week, I realised I first started watching the series at [I]28 Up[/I] so this series as been something I've looked forward to for 42 years and the latest instalment didn't disappoint, Asif Kapadia did a great job filling the shoes of Michael Apted and brought a new energy to the production. I thought it was faster moving, the recaps seemed to work better than before and the overall reflective tone was nicely done. I had forgotten how direct and judgmental Michael Apted had been in his questioning of the Uppers in the previous episodes and I can totally understand why some of them had previously decided to end their participation. Neil never disappoints. Every 7 years he seems to have the most changes in his life and I'm pleased that he now seems content with life in his French home. Paul and Symon, both seem like really nice people even though they must have had a difficult early life growing up in a children's home. It was nice that Lynn featured quite prominently in the episode, even though she had died several years back. Looking forward to next week's show because I read that they turn the tables a bit and the Uppers discuss Michael Apted. Should be fascinating. [/QUOTE]
