Get frustrated with the Times a lot with their tech bashing and political homomgeneity but pieces like this are worth the price of a year's subscription alone. Wonderfully written and a clear subtle mirroring of Apsted's biography using the framing device of his series.

I disagree completely. I got introduced to the Seven Up series on social media ( digg or reddit? ). The discussions there are far better than an article like this. But even if you think the writing is great, it doesn't excuse supporting a morally bankrupt enterprise like the times. Millions of innocent people lost their lives from wars peddled by the times and no moral human being would support such a company financially or otherwise. Just my opinion.
