Led by director Michael Apted throughout the decades, this unique, acclaimed series has now reached 63 Up, allowing it to gain further illuminating insight into its original premise of asking whether or not our adult lives are pre-determined by our earliest influences and the social class in which we are raised – an issue as relevant to our society now as it was when the series first aired.

In tonight’s second episode we learn of the first death of the group with the passing of Lynn in 2013, a year after the last instalment 56 Up. Aged seven, Lynn was filmed talking about how she wanted to work in Woolworth but she ended up as a children’s librarian.  The series previously saw her battling a life-threatening brain condition and, in 56 Up, she had lost the job she’d dutifully held for 30 years.
