Summary

For this month's first Britainology, Nate and Milo watched the first installment of the Up series, the 1964 mini-documentary SEVEN UP! Filmed as a commentary on Britain's class system and unintentionally becoming a time lapse of the Baby Boomers, it's still an absolute gem of British Pathé Voice, and much more.

He's got, like, ears that stick out from his head at, like, a 90-degree angle.

0:10.9

And then he sat there in, like, a full, like, shirt, tie, tweed jacket and waistcoat.
