The (7) Up Series is definitely worth your time if you enjoy documentaries, Brits, and being a voyeur into people's lives.
I have finally reached 42 Up which is the newest of the series (since they haven't turned 49 yet). I was watching the part about Bruce marrying Penelope. At the reception a classical music trio was playing the strings version of Makin' Whoopee. Bee-zarre.
A week or two ago I was at a big dinner, 200 people under a tent celebrating the end of a week of conferencing together. One client got up on the stage with the brass and percussion band and sang this very same song. She was not a good singer, but it takes guts, and at the end she dedicated it to her husband who was back home. Such a sweet sentiment. :)
