The day that was. Later start. FaceTime call colleagues. Work (WFH). Lunch. Invoicing, e-paperwork. Analyse work database, old blog database. 2hr walk (100% AI free). Supermarket. Tea. Watch 70 Up of #7Up series, first time seeing any of it. Fascinating. It's late. To come: lights out #OnlineJournal

Have watched the complete series #7Up It's both the most emotional and saddest show I've seen.
IMO a British TV landmark! 📺
#70Up

Thanks to @news.abc.net.au for a beaut interview with the local participant in #7Up to #70Up, Paul Kligerman. Loved the final question about eating his greens...

Heartfelt thanks to @asifkapadia.bsky.social for the beautiful #70Up. A thoughtful & moving closure to the series that began all those years ago with #7Up. And thanks to all those participants whose lives we peeked into regularly. (My profile pic on here is from 1964!)

I’ve started again from #7Up looking forward to watching the whole series.

The Pitch Drop experiment, the Morrow Plots and 7Up - possibly the three most persistently interesting experiments in the history of the world, but 7Up wins hands down for its complexity and humanity - and how we can see ourselves and our memories reflected back to us. #7Up

7up started out with the worst possible product name. Here are the details: worlds-worst-website.com/worst-produc... ( #7up, #softDrink, #soda, #productName, #naming, #productPlacement, #marketing, #marketResearch, #pop, #advertise, #advertising, #advertisement, #USHistory)

Excellent insight into the roots of the series from #7UP veteran Gordon McDougall: "...while some have complained of a socialist bias to the series, none have felt their lives impaired by taking part in it..."

I caught up with #70up the other day... and decided I wanted to watch the original #7up... it's well worth watching... a world away from modern TV programmes... There's also a fascinating programme about the whole series... surprisingly it was never intended to be ongoing... 📺

Bloody hell, this piece is so well written that I've got something in my eye. Again.

Mostly because of Neil and Nick. Again.

But, also for the general summation of this extraordinary piece of televisual viewing.

A year after the #7Up first episode the filmmakers looked at the stories of people who were born in Victorian Britain. #70Up

In Victorian times poor elderly were often destined for the workhouse.

In 1899 Britain, average life expectancy was 44-48 years. In 1963 it was 70.

I found #70Up hugely emotional. I’ve lived with this TV series all my life. #7Up showed us working class children. That was amazing to me. Privilege & education can give young people a leg up. So can friends. 🩷 #amwatching

Poor Nick #7Up

Is it helpful to expose inequality when nothing appears to solve it? Or does displaying it strengthen those who benefit from it? #7Up #ITV

I miss World in Action. #7UpTheStory #7UP
