The "Up" children - then and now

John Brisby, who attended the same pre-prep school as Andrew and Charles, and who was vocal about politics at an early age, became a barrister. He married Claire, and devotes himself to charities related to Bulgaria (to which he and his wife have strong ties).

John had bowed out of "42 Up," but returned in "49 Up." In "56 Up" he talked of being misrepresented as upper-class and privileged by the films, explaining that his father died when he was nine, his mother worked to support the family, and he had attended Oxford University on scholarship.
