"42 Up" and the Up documentaries

[Neil Ward]

<<From various reviews I've read, one of the people, Neil, is 
supposed to have had a major transformation. Can anyone fill me in? I 
can't seem to find any detailed summaries of the documentaries on the 
web. And my PBS station as of yet has no plans to re-televise the 
program.>>

IIRC, Neil (no relation) had dropped out of society, suffering from 
schizophrenia, I think, and was a living the life of a penniless 
hermit, in a caravan, in the middle of nowhere.  He was emaciated, 
crop-haired and dishevelled during his interviews.  

I *think* that was in "42 Up," but if that was in "35 Up" perhaps 
he'd got his act together by age 42 and re-entered the rat race. It's 
a while since I saw it.
