Being one of the "7 Up" kids
The Accidental Film Star, by Lila Guterman. Chronicle of Higher Education, May 27, 2005.

"Mr. Hitchon has been a faculty member in electrical engineering at Wisconsin for 22 years, but he's been starring in motion pictures for far longer. ... The British expatriate was chosen in 1964 along with 14 other children to appear in the television documentary Seven Up. Citing the Jesuit maxim 'Give me a child until he is 7, and I will give you the man,' the film attempted to offer a predictive glimpse of England's adults in the year 2000. ... Thanks to the popularity of the movie, its crew has followed him and the other children into adulthood, filming them every seven years. This spring it is shooting 49 Up, its seventh film."
