Just caught up with 56up, the ITV documentary that follows a number of people throughout their lives from the age of 7. It started 49 years ago, and I've enjoyed seeing them from when I was young.
Neil is the tale I most want to see. Every time I hope he's happy, and every time he's moved somewhere new, tried different things, and yet remains unhappy.
Then they show him as an innocent 7-year-old. Then clips of him as 14, 21 etc. It's hard to watch a man so unhappy.
And it makes you think about your life, and now about my kids' future lives.
Which is why it is such a good programme, and why I'll tune in again in 2021.
