Most of the early ones are on YouTube.
Some are heartbreaking, when you find out how their lives turned out, compared to the bright little kids they were.

Yes, and some were so predictable -the little girl who wanted to marry and have loads of kids like her mum...no aspirations.
Neil in the video you've posted is the one I remember best -incredibly bright and lovely child from Liverpool...ended up getting into drugs at Uni. dropping out and suffering from depression. He did end up relatively well though living in the Lake District and getting into local politics as an adult but was so different to the child-Neil.
I think that most of the boys from the Pubblic school refused to be filmed later in the final set of episodes as adults...
The series was a wonderful idea...
