A “70 Up” documentary features an appearance by Nick Hitchon, a well-known figure from the “7 Up” series who died in 2021. Multiple reports say the footage comes from an interview Hitchon filmed just three days before he died, leading to his surprise inclusion in the latest installment.

Hitchon had previously discussed his health publicly, describing himself as seriously ill with throat cancer and saying his focus was limited to the short term because of his prognosis. The outlet coverage emphasizes the timing of the recording and the circumstances around his death, but all accounts center on the same point: the interview was captured shortly before he passed away and is now shown in the “70 Up” documentary.
