56 Up

Anybody watching? 

Where? When? How?

I didn't know the new one was out!!!!

Going to google....I am clueless

edited to add: have now googled and am very interested, will have to have a watch! A very interesting topic which is very close to home (well work) for me.

This one is a 3-parter on ITV1 - the first episode was on Monday night at 9 pm, but it'll probably still be available on catch-up.

I love the whole Up series - I'd not heard of it until 2008, when I was living in the US and a friend of mine told me about it... I watched all of them on Netflix in the space of a couple of weeks .

I'd actually forgotten about the series until I saw it mentioned in our TV guide last week .

Found it! I have the second part cue up on Sky+ and I'll watch the first part online. Whew!!

I've been obsessed with the 'Up' thing ever since I can remember!

******************

ETA: I've just seen Part I. Fantastic stuff!

Oh, I LOVE the 'Ups'!!
Had no idea it was on again, so thank you!
Will have to go online to catch up...

I'm glad I was able to remind some of you! 

I love the Ups series too.  I think I started watching at 28 Up ?  I was hoping to go back and rent some of the earlier ones from Lovefilm so that I could remember the details.  As the shows get further on they include less and less of the original episodes and I've forgotten a lot over the years.  Unfortunately, the series isn't available from Lovefilm.  I trust they'll still include the rabbit catching scene in this series...heh heh.

I watched the one that was on the other night, when they were interviewing the physics professor.  I was kind of tickled that they were showing clips from around the UW-Madison.  I was recognizing street-corners and everything. 

Though, of course, there was the annoyance when they mentioned that he's a researcher at the University of Wisconsin, and my MIL laughed like it was the most ridiculous thing she'd ever heard.  I had to assure her that, no, really, it's one of the top research universities in the U.S. : / 

I'm watching! It's the original reality TV, I think! 

What most interesting for me is the diversity and commonality in the life course for people.
