The fact that no children speak like that anymore.

Sad really.

Watching it now you notice how engineered, and unrepresentative the choice of children was.

I think it's about 95% of children who go to state schools, so in theory there should have been just one child from a public school, not a third.

It's very much 'posh' versus 'oiks'.

There are few if any kids from the vast range in the middle.

That said, still fascinating though.

All things considered they all did pretty well in life and the range of things they ended up doing was pretty wide -no real career women though...

I wonder how they'd try to choose a group to follow from today's British society -would be hard to be representative...
