By the fourth installment of the series a few of our subjects have dropped out (John and Charles do not take part) and Paul’s move to Australia (before Seven Plus Seven) seems to have benefited this insecure man. Divorce is barely mentioned and children are starting to arrive.
Neil is not getting any better, and has really only managed to find another anti-social alcove to crawl into. Tony has pushed his East Ender dream as far as he can. Our trio of chain store girls has grown more distant and distinct, with only Lynn finding a way to maintain her fragile 15-plus year marriage.

At 49, 12 agree to talk about family, work, their hopes, and the series. We also see footage from previous interviews. Some marriages seem stronger; some have ended. Being a parent or a grandparent dominates life's pleasures. Simon has found responsibility; John's charity work flourishes. Neil remains in politics, against all odds. Jackie leads the critique of a more deliberately-present Apted and the series' intrusiveness. None enjoy participating; all are reflective; several surpass expectations.
Documentary update following a group of Britons whose lives have been chronicled from the age of seven.

Catching up with people whose lives have been chronicled since the age of seven, including Lynn, who had previously battled a life-threatening brain condition.

Director Michael Apted catches up with more of the people he first met as seven-year-old children back in 1964. Paul and Symon - who back then were filmed growing up in the same children's home - have an emotional reunion in Australia, where Paul emigrated as a teenager. The film also catches up with Neil, whose rollercoaster life has taken him from homelessness to politics.
