The Seven Up kids are back, only now they're 56 Up. This is the latest in what is probably the longest-running documentary series ever ~ a fascinating study of 13 Brits that began in 1964, when they were 7 years old, and has revisited them every seven years after that: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-56-up-documentary-review-20130118,0,5807042.story
   Here's the video version of the review, which includes some clips, albeit very brief ones, from the documentaries: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-56-up-documentary-review-20130118,0,5807042.story
