English director and producer; led the Up documentary series
A Bristol-born team has produced Doctor Who: Outlander, a fan-driven film set around John F. Kennedy’s era. The project, created with students and professionals, has been shot in Bristol and Bath and premieres in Cardiff as the crew aims to keep the Doctor Who spark alive after the 2026 Christmas special was cancelled.
The final episodes of the Seven Up! series have arrived, revisiting 14 lives at seven-year intervals since childhood. Asif Kapadia directs a reflective finale, anchored by archival footage and a poignant interview with Nick Hitchon, who died in 2023, while the participants reflect on class and ageing; Apted’s presence lingers in the framing, and the project stands as both a tour de force and a flawed social experiment.
