I am sure most of us would have seen at least one outing of this fascinating series that he helmed. The last installment, 63-Up, was released in 2019. I seem to remember that he wasn't very well when he made it. Apart from Documentaries he also directed a number of well regarded films including "Gorillas in the Mist" & "Coal Miner's Daughter".

A correction--he didn't direct the first one. He was a researcher on it and helped choose the children, but the first one was directed by Paul Almond.

Thanks for the correction. I guess my mind he he became so associated with the series that I never thought to check closely enough. And I hadn't read your article yet
