For this month's second Britainology, Nate and Milo viewed the second installment of the Up series, entitled SEVEN PLUS SEVEN, which aired in 1970. The BBC's control group of children are now fourteen years old and already on the path towards being  stock characters, but there are also some odd surprises. We hope you enjoy!

Definitely like these walks down British memory lane and thank you for embarrassing me at work as I echo the premium hogs moan involuntarily and happened to be near some coworkers. They already know I'm weird so no harm done.

I wanna say as a 29yo from Melbourne who went to public school. I have very fond memories of watching this series and some of the American one in early high school. Looking forward to seeing you in melb Milo!

Nate talking about his republican parents was quite depressing, I remember Easter 2016 my grandpa (lifelong Republican) announcing to the family that he was switching parties and caucusing for Bernie because in his words "I can't trust Hillary as far as I can throw her and Trump will destroy this country". Hearing that there are pro choice republicans (my grandfather was very anti choice) that will still vote party line is... Oof

Such a cool concept to interview people throughout their lives, unfortunately poisoned a little bit by the fact that it's being conducted by journalists who reflexively have to try and corner these kids into making fools of themselves on TV.

On the lingering bullying psychosis thing, it's definitely still a part of peoples' lives growing up in the UK. Went to secondary during the 2010s, none of my bullying was physical & I wasn't the most bullied by a long way; still pretty hard to not get hung up on certain things that people did or said (though I react to it a lot better nowadays). Sometimes it felt like the adults leaned into it for the sake of a "proper" growing up experience, one kid who got it way worse went through a year long period of getting harassed by every bully including P.E teachers to such an extent it gave the rest of us a break. It's a massive problem, basically unrecognised by the education system. Dread to think of how kids get treated these days, Patterning is/was an extreme variation on happy slapping and I'm very glad I grew up in the infancy of Snapchat usage.

Loved this one. Again. 18 months later. Nate remains as correct as ever. The older I get, the more the maxim about getting more conservative gets more untrue. This fucking world is turning me ever more left. Something very poignant about this one.
