56 Up (2012) Edit

A commitment of getting our money

A concert pianist... it would have been nice.

A few wrinkles, but life still goes on.

A few years after, they were taken over

A relationship that she was in.

A relationship with her first love of her own life was...

A sense of right and wrong and so on.

A very generous film director based in San Francisco

A wonderful byproduct of the program,

About being a foster parent?

About keeping the marriage together?

About something completely different,

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

After all this time.

After Oxford, he worked in the city for a year,

After their trip to the zoo and the party,

Ah, his dashing good looks, yeah.

Ah!

Aldi come along and built a brand new supermarket there.

Alexander is now working in Canary Wharf

All I want to say is that I have had

All right, bye.

All these things that I've said

All white.

An open characteristic way about me.

And 14 and 21, before I knew him,

And a cab pulled up, and taxi driver said,

And a lot of what's embedded in our culture.

And a tear came to my eye.

And after that, to Trinity Hall, Cambridge.

And afterwards we went to a discotheque

And also fairly successful.

And also I think...

And always interesting.

And by the time there's no water left in the tank,

And consequently they'd just sort of take the money

And cutting departments again.

And didn't want to talk about it anymore.

And ever just chill out?

And everything will be fine after that.

And everything's slower here.

And forming a relationship and so on.

And from there I just... that was it.

And get on with their work?

And Grandpa Hitchon.

And ground to make up.

And he seems well balanced.

And he was back out on the street

And he's a young man.

And he's absolutely fine,

And he's certainly got my blessing.

And he's done very, very well

And his love of sport, as well.

And hopefully there's a lot more ups to come.

And how is old Connor doing?

And I admire them for doing it.

And I always felt that that was regimental.

And I can't change it.

And I couldn't ask for more, to be more proud

And I couldn't believe it,

And I don't. I store them up.

And I got up to 65,

And I guess I'll put this down to being a bad book, but I'll see it through.

And I had a photo finish.

And I hated it.

And I have to sort of pull the reins in for me.

And I just tell 'em I ain't got one.

And I start that in the next couple of weeks.

And I stopped.

And I suppose, you know, that that would have been

And I think private schools may help its continuance.

And I think that, with respect to you, is over the top.

And I think that's absolutely true.

And I took it from there.

And I used to feed them.

And I vowed I'd never do it now. But here I am.

And I was probably in my late 20s, maybe early 30s,

And I will give you the man.

And I won't... I don't think I'll have

And I'm a bit older and wiser,

And I'm lucky... I'm very, very lucky, Michael.

And I've been able to nurture the boys.

And if I hadn't been listening carefully,

And in a way,

And in the second year, I was in the rooms

And instead of the two part time jobs,

And is Emma still in the same job?

And it goes on seven days out of every seven years,

And it's all this excitement

And it's like, That's all there is to me?

And it's worked very well.

And likewise.

And Minnie is your child by your marriage.

And most of all, I've got a...

And most of all, I've got to make sure my Toni grows up

And moved to Widford in Essex.

And now three of them see me.

And obviously one can't help feeling one's a bit of a failure

And perhaps it's slightly softened my objections.

And say, Toni, no, no.

And scooted nextdoor to spend the morning with her.

And she and Symon had a son, Daniel.

And she doesn't carry too well.

And she used to always say to us,

And she's now trained as a child minder.

And so on, and then they present this tiny snippet of your life

And so, when they're bullying, they're...

And some parts a failure,

And sometimes it has got me into trouble,

And still, you know, having a life out here.

And taught in Bangladesh.

And that normally means you need a holiday.

And that will always be the reason why.

And that, you know, I got a scholarship to Oxford.

And that's been closed now for about 18 months.

And that's getting more and more pressing every time we come.

And that's just such a contradiction, isn't it?

And that's the reason why.

And that's, you know, if they sat on me now,

And that's... it's those sorts of things that make you reflect.

And the cabbie said, No, I don't want his autograph, I want your autograph.

And the firm used to take their money out, pay the fine,

And the pace is different.

And the people there looked gray suited and miserable,

And the relationship's strong?

And the time don't allow it to be a real study.

And the torch from these games

And the type of American people I've been with.

And then a couple minutes later another waitress...

And then he just pulled himself together

And then I will be going to Westminster Boarding School

And then I, um...

And then later, when he retired to England,

And then read about them... what... about it.

And then Riley was born.

And then we think I'm going to Cambridge in Trinity Hall.

And then when I had my own children,

And then...

And then...

And there are people who have very poor prospects.

And there are very successful people, extremely rich,

And there is no uniform

And they enjoy the success and so on,

And they had five children.

And they have no other interests,

And they were affected like everybody else.

And they're there.

And Timothy has just left St Andrews,

And to this day I thought to myself, you know,

And to watch their father play cricket.

And Tony was standing there.

And try and teach people who are not civilized

And very attached to a foundation makes good sense to me.

And very few formal rules.

And we always have lunch, then tea, then a barbecue afterwards.

And we always say to foster carers,

And we have to ensure that the children are kept safe.

And we thought, Well, that's quite nice.

And we'd be great.

And what happens to the fostering children

And what they used to do, get an orange box

And what they'd do is called Find the Lady, a three card trick.

And when I was so small, they were mammoth.

And while that's rewarding and they enjoy that

And why did you fall in love with him?

And would like to fulfill, and would do it well.

And you better cut it, because otherwise I'm going to cry.

And you can never be sure

And you let it go?

And you still remember her?

And, in the middle of a conversation

And, Mr. Aldrin, I said, can I have your autograph, please?

And, to be honest,

And...

Andrew and Jane have two sons, Alexander and Timothy.

Andrew and Jane live in London,

Andrew went to Charterhouse and Cambridge,

Andrew.

Another chance of seeing her again.

Anything I push him to do, he's going to do the opposite.

Apart from our marriage, is our children.

Are a non farting family.

Are you ambitious for them?

Aren't you worth more than this?

As a couple, are you concerned by the destruction

As a potential politician, even though I'm already 49.

As far as was there too many, was there too less?

As head of the maths department

As long as people don't abuse

As soon as he was born, they took him straight through

As well as fostering,

As what the audience require

As you can see, Michael, the Bethnal Green I knew as a kid

As you probably understand, there is a world recession,

At 14, he was already an apprentice

At 15, he'd left school.

At 21, she began a career as a children's librarian,

At 28, Andrew was a solicitor.

At 35, Bruce took a sabbatical

At 42,

At 42, he married Vienetta.

At 42, he was back in the East End

At 49,

At 49, they'd taken out a second mortgage

At a girls comprehensive school.

At expressing his feelings to you?

At one stage we went to marriage guidance because the pressures of being together

At one stage, they all stopped seeing me at all.

At our expense.

At that library review,

At the end of the game,

At the end of their very special day in London,

At the moment in this country by building all over

At the time to become a jockey.

At the top of that staircase there.

At Tommy Gosling's racing stable at Epsom.

At William Harvey Hospital in Ashford.

Baked beans.

Beautiful.

Because I was very anti doing it.

Because I've always, at heart, believed in consensus politics.

Because if we didn't, schools would be so nasty and crowded.

Because if you know that you're going to get 50 people...

Because of cuts in the education budget,

Because of the crash,

Because people like myself

Because she was always helping other young people.

Because the kids are my life.

Because they're not there anymore.

Because we are two completely different people.

Because we found ourselves doing too much.

Because you've been in both settings.

Become involved in a family, my own family, for a start.

Before I'm old enough to get a job,

Before somebody dies.

Being kept short of necessary supplies and funds

Big lad, very nice guy. Loves his football, you know.

Bit older, bit wiser...

Bond them back, and hopefully, which we pray,

Bruce and Penny have two sons, Henry and George.

Bruce was at boarding school.

But apparently they do.

But at least you can be sure that,

But for various reasons...

But has it been worth it all?

But here, people are undecided about you.

But I can't see there's anything wrong,

But I couldn't forget her.

But I just think it's easier...

But I mean, this one, I try to do the three f's,

But I think it's based more on financial success.

But I think that's the way that cars will go.

But I went in this office,

But I'll just meet you by the garage, okay?

But I'm not sure whether, looking at the next generation,

But if the countryside is ruined, it's ruined forever

But in some ways, I think maybe it would be good to work...

But is that what they were trying to get at?

But it was too late then... I'd already sort of...

But it's a picture of somebody, and that's the value of it.

But it's a,

But it's depressing.

But it's sometimes not quite as mother and son,

But just remember, when we're in a tent,

But my job is very flexible.

But not yet.

But now,

But now...

But nowadays, you... It's...

But obviously in the mid 50s, it's a bit more difficult.

But Riley is just a two year old.

But seems to be picking up again now.

But that's the character with me now,

But that's the natural order of things.

But then we're putting ourselves out to be that person.

But then you get to my stage, and you think,

But they have a second home

But they've got no one to love them.

But this is me saying

But this time round, no one's listening.

But yes, it has been worth it.

But, I mean, that's easier said than done.

But, Michael, that used to be my bank.

But, you know, doing something for other people

But...

By 21, Symon was working in the freezer room

By 28, he had married Yvonne

By 35, John had married Claire,

By 35, they were divorced.

By 42, Tony and Debbie had left the East End

By 49,

By a German firm.

By comparison.

Called Harry.

Can you get his autograph? so I heard him

Can you imagine having me for a dad?

Catch up!

Come and visit us, which is good.

Come on, Jess and Daniel!

Commence!

Dad, you was, like, the person that comes round on the tractor.

Debbie and Tony have three children...

Did I win and just allow you to come...

Didn't know I was getting into this!

Do my homework, and then I go and see my father.

Do you never feel you should be doing better jobs than these?

Do you never feel you should be doing better jobs than these?

Do you regret not making it?

Do you think it would be a low pressure existence?

Do you think you could ever retire

Do you think you've pushed him too far,

Do your old friends give you a hard time about what you've done?

Does money concern you a lot?

Does she lack self confidence, do you think?

Does that give you pause for thought?

Doing what?

Don't argue very much.

Don't be jealous, 'cause you've got my love,

Don't make advantage of... take best advantage of them,

Down the staircase, I got the job!

Draining the system dry.

Draw their state pension as well,

Driving forklifts and working in a warehouse.

Dunno, just I love you, every day.

Dunno.

Enjoy life.

Even though I hate it.

Ever had a say in immigration.

Every seven years, appearing in this program.

Everybody in the school,

Everybody's real thoughts on things.

Everyone sort of mingles in and it's lovely.

Family and friends are involved, as well,

Financial circumstances.

Find them, feel them... then forget them.

Football shirts and all that memorabilia.

For cars in the future.

For five or ten minutes and anyone remembers your face.

For loving from the adult carers,

For me, it's quite sad, you know, but I mean, if that's

For me, it's so small around here now.

For the last

For the last 18 months or so,

For the other f, I'll let you use your own discriminish.

For us all three to fit into a small tent.

For, like a temporary base.

Fortunately, I was over 50 and I could draw my pension.

From here, it's about 200 yards long.

From Spain back to England.

From the London Diocesan Board of Schools.

From the youngest 2 1/2 year old in the nursery to the headmaster,

From which to work from.

General education is better for society, I think.

George!

Give me a child until he is 7,

Giving money to the banks and no regulation on the banks.

Giving money to the banks and no regulation on the banks.

Giving out aid to all the countries around the world.

Go on, then, Henry, get on.

Going to be quite devastating for them.

Gone extremely quickly.

Good morning!

Good morning!

Graduated this year, and he's going on

Group of people in these chambers

Growing up, now it's changed quite dramatically.

Had a lot to do with me wearing the...

Had a more privileged upbringing,

Has it been a kind of compromise

Have a million angels in front of every teacher

Have been giving and giving all the time.

Have we joined the Tory party, the golf club, the Masons?

Have you got a girlfriend?

Having emotional problems and various other problems.

Having some sort of career at this stage.

He doesn't talk to me about it very much at all.

He got a full time job.

He got the phone call, and he screamed

He has a density to him.

He just asked if, um,

He loves Riley to bits.

He picked up a job,

He plays cricket, I go and shop.

He says.

He taught an estate school.

He used to go in the nick once a week at least.

He was in the pub earlier on.

He was just saying, another 10 years,

He was put on

He was terribly, terribly upset.

He was the second man to land on the moon.

He went for a good Yorkshire lass.

He went on to Oxford,

He'll do the school run in the morning,

He's a private person.

He's coming over here to see.

He's doing great.

He's getting more mature, and he has to be very patient with me.

He's getting on fine.

He's now 18,

He's off to his new secondary school.

He's passed his test, and if

Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle. How are you?

Hemorraghing money through your war effort.

High or low, rain or shine,

Hiya!

Hopefully I'll reach my half century next year

How are they doing?

How did you prophesy what was going to happen

How is the cabbing going?

How many times you're gonna see your family

How much did he weigh when he was born?

I always wanted to go into politics,

I am the proof that you need to push yourself and go on.

I came here first. I think that was me.

I can see bringing up, say, teenage children

I come up most weekends.

I could see which of them looked like their father at those stages of life,

I couldn't stay there for that long.

I do largely litigation.

I do!

I don't know now. You bothered me for so long.

I don't know what happened.

I don't know.

I don't see any point in doing it.

I don't think I financially come from the same background.

I don't think it is particularly difficult, actually.

I don't think... I don't think that's going to change

I don't want this.

I don't want to see any backs to me.

I draw a circle... they're all mine,

I enjoy the work, which is intellectually stimulating

I feel it's a complete fraud.

I feel that the economy will bust within five years.

I feel the Labour government has got a lot to answer for.

I got a job.

I had an all white wedding.

I have had regretful behavior various times, but...

I haven't written myself off

I hope so.

I just walk around and see what I can find.

I know I can't stay at Wall's forever.

I know I was very difficult

I know I was very difficult

I know you should let these things out.

I let it go.

I lived up there for 28 years.

I looked at this gray, grubby office,

I may not have a job.

I mean, are you grateful she made that decision?

I mean, I come back, and the memories I've got in here

I mean, I do think a lot of people think too much about it.

I mean, I don't want to pin all my hopes on it and nothing happens.

I mean, I was never good enough.

I mean, if in seven years' time or so,

I mean, it makes you feel like crying.

I mean, my father is English

I mean, seven years ago,

I mean, us all, we do things

I mean, we've got our work and so on.

I mean, who knows in seven years whether it will be done again.

I mean, who knows who I might meet tomorrow?

I mean, with the recession,

I now have a career.

I once met Kojak, I picked him up.

I once tried to count,

I owe Debbie everything because, good or bad,

I read the Financial Times.

I read the Observer and the Times.

I said, You're joking, ain't ya?

I should have been an accountant.

I still love her so.

I suppose I have this ridiculous sense of loyalty to it,

I suppose I'm taking them to Quakers

I suppose it's a bit of dads and lads, and getting to know each other

I suppose the separation and the distance...

I think a lot of people say, Well, global warming is bad, but are they actually

I think bringing you lot along for the weekend

I think I admire people with great determination.

I think I'd like to say this and I'd like to say that.

I think I'm an incredibly lucky person in all sorts of respects.

I think I'm very blessed in my work environment.

I think it's been more ups than downs.

I think it's going to take quite a while.

I think it's just ridiculous.

I think it's more of a father son thing

I think it's not a bad idea to pay for schools,

I think she doesn't realize how capable she is, really.

I think so. We talk, don't we?

I think that the premise

I think the cabs line would have sunk.

I think the most important thing to us,

I think the premise of the original film was

I think the problem I have is that you don't get

I think the thing where I would regard myself most successful

I think we have all got a few of those.

I think what's undesirable is, people who have had options

I think you're the wrong way.

I think, should come over to Bulgaria to see what

I used to run in and get them my apples

I want a baby son.

I want to give up and everything,

I want to stay out in the fresh air.

I want your work in front.

I was fortunate enough that I still had a job at the end of it,

I was limping off in third

I was quite adamant I wasn't going to do it.

I was there for, about, I think, five to six years?

I wasn't good enough.

I went to a discotheque.

I would have given my right arm

I would have missed it completely.

I would say it probably is...

I wouldn't be able to get up again.

I wouldn't bother.

I'd like to be a solicitor

I'd quite like to go into politics,

I'll do the school run in the afternoon.

I'll give you a story which happened.

I'll miss them dreadfully,

I'll still read it, I'll still see it through.

I'll try my luck and see what it does.

I'm a barrister.

I'm afraid I'm too old now.

I'm always surprised that, you know, you appear

I'm back at the old dog track.

I'm enjoying my professional career very much indeed,

I'm going to Charterhouse,

I'm going to work in Woolworth's.

I'm happily married.

I'm happy with the way my life has gone.

I'm here today and I cannot believe the transformation.

I'm more famous than Buzz Aldrin.

I'm not ambitious now.

I'm not in the mid 50s yet, remember.

I'm not politically minded, but I still believe

I'm not proud at all to say this, but...

I'm off to play cricket.

I'm pleased that we have a coalition,

I'm still a barrister, and I still wear a curly white wig.

I'm still a governor.

I'm still Chair of Governors at St Xavier's.

I'm sure it will come.

I'm the one with the white cap.

I'm thinking of following a legal career,

I'm very interested about it, and I think what worries me is

I'm very proud of Perry as well.

I'm very, um... laid back.

I've actually had Riley full time.

I've been godfather to at least three Chambers' children.

I've been married a year and a couple of months.

I've been ushers at many Members of Chambers' weddings.

I've been very fortunate

I've come back here again and it's

I've done quite a lot of different things

I've got common sense and he's got the brains.

I've got one, but I don't think much of her.

I've never been racist in a million years.

I've no doubt that, whether it's five years or ten years,

I've not stamped yours.

If I could, I would have, um, two girls and two boys.

If I go any further back, I'll fall over.

If I knew I couldn't be one, I'd get out of it.

If I pass the exam.

If I see my baby son, then my ambition's fulfilled.

If I'd like to marry him.

If I'd pushed myself at school,

If something dies, it rots and feeds back into the earth.

If we'd got together when we should have got together

If you can see the old wildlife,

If you go down the wrong road

If you want to get on, if you want things in life,

In Bulgaria at the time, so that was

In East London.

In everything, from parenting to decisions in life.

In order to see us through school,

In the city of London.

In the early days,

In the future, and it's always been like that.

In this last program?

Insofar as the program touches me,

Into a holiday home in Spain.

Is a long time I've been married.

Is developing hydrogen powered fuel cells

Is I wear a silk gown, because I'm now a QC.

Is it important to fight? Yes.

Is just fantastic.

Is known by their first names,

Is that doable?

Is that I've seen what my husband looked like at 7

Is the chemistry still there between you?

Is the forecast to rain tonight?

Is the person who made me the person I am today.

Is there anything of you in him?

Is to be loved.

Is to be wanted.

Is unbelievable.

Isn't it, but...

It all appeared

It all springs from, uh...

It didn't reflect realities in '64.

It doesn't mean that's the end of the road.

It is coincidental that we met, but it's obvious

It isn't a picture really of the essence of Nick

It still does now.

It was a gift from God for what happened.

It was such a lovely feeling, really.

It's 10 cabs to 2 jobs.

It's a bit quiet, though, for you two, isn't it?

It's a dream. It's just spectacular.

It's a matter of self confidence.

It's a really nice, close set of friends here, and that...

It's a very nonchalant little theme, you know,

It's all the stuff that we repress as hard as we can,

It's going to be all commercial units here.

It's how a person, any person, how they change.

It's just nice drifting along the river

It's just not me.

It's just that the limitations of such things

It's just what happens.

It's like reading a bad book.

It's never done.

It's not a serious matter.

It's not quiet when we get here.

It's not something I look forward to

It's only the two of us at home now.

It's something that all children want,

It's sort of biblical something or other,

It's still some way off,

It's totally changed.

It's true, but it's been ever thus.

It's true, but there are extremes at either end.

It's unfortunately

It's what they wanted to do.

Jackie and her friends.

Jodie has a daughter, Toni.

Jodie, I mean, at this present time,

John went to Westminster,

John.

Just been appointed for another four year term of office

Keeps telling me he's nearly as tall as me, but I keep saying,

Last time I appeared on the program,

Later, he joined the legal department

Leaving my mother in very uncomfortable

Like when, for example, Timothy graduated recently,

Like you still do today... you always have paid.

Like, You have to keep on trying.

Listening to you, sometimes you sound racist.

Living on a farm.

London taxis.

Loving God and Christ, I suppose.

Lynn grew up in the East End of London.

Make way, make way, this is somebody who is prepared to

Many girls that really want to do all that hard woodwork.

Me and him might have split up.

Michael, up there's my old flat I used to live in.

Might be at the bar.

Mm, I can watch it for short periods.

Mm.

Muddy water and a spider, ta.

Mummy's going to work, say Bye bye, Mummy.

Must be doing something right.

My character seems to have slowed down while I'm out here.

My daughter Jodie, she's at this present time

My family wasn't at the airport to collect me and that,

My feet are in the mud.

My great great grandfather,

My greatest fulfillment in life...

My heart's desire is to see my daddy,

My intentions will be to turn

My mind would go dead.

My real mother died at birth,

My two oldest friends are both ministers at the moment.

Namely, that England, that was still in the grips

Neither of the girls went to university?

Nick has two younger brothers, Andrew and Christopher.

Nick is truly English.

Nick's son Adam was 10 when his parents divorced.

Nicky, as you know, he was a French polisher,

Nicky, Jodie, and Perry.

Nicky, Jodie, Perry.

No one had a say of the popularization,

No one knows that. Only you now.

No, and when he does, he usually manages to pull a muscle.

No, I don't think so.

No, I haven't really.

No, I think as long as one has enough to be comfortable,

No, look out.

No, no, not yet.

No, no.

No, no.

No, that means I was a lazy sod when I was younger.

No, you don't stop life because you've made a mistake.

No, you pays to get your own done,

No, you've got a while to go yet.

No! Well, yeah, but...

No.

Nope.

Nope.

Not having done as well as they could.

Not necessarily full time, maybe take time off

Not one East Ender, Cockney person like myself,

Not really, I mean, we haven't really had

Not well.

Not where I'm with, no way.

Not with all that brains.

Not... not really, by the sound of that.

Nothing in it at all except for manure.

Obviously, when children come into foster care,

Of a Dickensian class system... was outmoded even in 1964.

Of a large British industrial company.

Of Disabled Children at Dalbok Dol

Of leaving your children any worldly goods,

Of political principles for you, this?

Of poor children, I think. Yes.

Of smaller ways, particularly
