BritinBretagne Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The content is fascinating for many people not just those involved in education and child development. It is, of course, particularly relevant to those in the same age range. The first two or three series were part of my own education and I’ve watched several of the subsequent series as well. With no access to UK TV I will, unfortunately, miss this one. Some of the subjects were pretty feisty in their youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Naturally, I'm unable to tell you if the content is blocked in France, as I'm not there, but it seems to be available on YouTube if you really want to watch.At least one episode of this current batch is:https://youtu.be/X5zDW48vnJMLooks like previous episodes in the strand are there too. Knock yourselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I liked the bit about the boy who wanted to be a jockey. I was a bit like that myself, having seen the film National Velvet. I used to ride on a pony (not mine) and gallop on the hard sand at our beach, imagining I was Velvet.I grew out of it though, went onto other things.

woolybanana Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 After watching bits and pieces of this over the years I end up with a deep sense of disappointment that those people’s lives could be so shitty, so unfulfilling, so narrow. Maybe it is the generation that is immediately post mine which had nowhere to go after the vision the world that Britain once had.(Retires behind missile proof defences! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 This is such a fascinating series. Sorry WB but my take is that most, and I dont want to generalise really, did make the best of what they were given.The last guy (from Liverpool) was perhaps the most confusing for me.IMHO the ultimate question for success is if the individuals lead a overall happy life. Easier to achieve with a privileged upbringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard51 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Remember the physicist farmer who went to the US. The one with presumably thyroid cancer.His fusion research was not well funded.Well:https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/DOE-announces-funds-for-overseas-fusion-researchNotice the last paragraph: most of the money will go to to administrators and their ilk! The total is indeed pathetic but making weapons is much more lucrative. Good for the farmers son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
