[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 439084, member: 23"] That's disappointing. I realise participant numbers are beginning to dwindle and will continue to do so at this stage of life, and also that there is arguably less ground to cover as people's lives get calmer and less active. Still, though, I feel this is a waste The premise of the documentary lends itself to running for as long as its subjects are alive, and this series was uniquely placed to cover a whole life cycle. I realise this may read as morbid, but I would find it interesting to see people reflect on their lives as they face the inevitability of death. Also, I don't know how this can be said with any degree of certainty. A lot can happen in seven years, and it's quite likely that someone, somewhere would find [I]77 Up[/I] and beyond too tempting an opportunity to pass up. Even Michael Apted himself expressed a desire "to do [I]84 Up [/I]when I'll be 99". Still, though, I'll take what's offered and will very much look forward to watching[I] 70 Up.[/I] [/QUOTE]
