Documentary about a group of seven-year-old Brits. Same kids revisited at 14; 21; 28; 35; 42; 49 and most recently 56 (2013). These are all on Netflix to stream now. We watched all 9 in order (as you should). Not sure if the series works as the examination of the class system as intended but interesting -- not voyeuristically, really -- but as a means to reflect on your own circumstances. Not as much fun for the subjects, probably.

I've been watching since 28 (saw 7, then skipped to 28). Saw the latest one a few weeks ago on PBS. I like them but I also think that since these check-ins have been a part of these people's lives since they were 7 that they spend too much time thinking about their past appearances which makes the current ones less effective.
