The Up series of documentary films follows the lives of ten boys and four girls in the United Kingdom, beginning in 1964, when they were seven years old. The documentary series has had ten episodes—one every seven years—spanning 63 years to the final instalment in 2026. The first film was titled Seven Up!, the second 7 Plus Seven; the third 21 Up; and the rest similarly titled through to 70 Up, matching the subjects' age at the time of filming. The director of the first film was Paul Almond, with the next eight directed by Michael Apted and the last (after Apted's death) by Asif Kapadia. The series was produced by Granada Television for ITV, which has broadcast all of them except 42 Up (1998), which was broadcast on BBC One. Individual films and the series as a whole have received numerous accolades.
