World In Action - Seven Up! (directed by Paul Almond) aired on this day in 1964. The original plan was to revisit the children in the year 2000, but in 1970 Michael Apted was curious about how they were coping as teenagers, so the idea of a new documentary every 7 years was born.

At a No 10 briefing today we heard about the government's commitment to "a whole-of-society response to antisemitism”. Asked if this might involve the government leaving X, where antisemitism is not only rife but monetlised, were were told it is "something we always keep under review." So: no.
