49 Up |
The series was originally commissioned by Granada Television as a programme for the World in Action series screened on the ITV network, broadcast in 1964.
It was directed at first by Paul Almond and subsequently taken over by Michael Apted, who had been a researcher on the first series and chose the original children with Gordon McDougall.
The premise of the film was taken from the Jesuit motto "Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man", which is based on a quote by Francis Xavier. The 1998 programme was commissioned by BBC One, although still produced for them by Granada.
Michael Apted was 22 at the time of Seven Up!, and has plans to create a 56 Up.
