Peter Peter Davies attended the same school in Liverpool as Neil Hughes when he featured in the first documentary aged seven. The Up series last saw Peter when he was just 28. At the time he was married and teaching at a school in Leicester.

He was quite outspoken about his views about the education system and after coming under-fire in the press he decided not to take part in the series anymore.

Peter, who at seven told the programme he wanted to be an astronaut, remained in contact with Michael Apted, who asked him to come back to the show every seven years. Now, after setting up a successful country music band, Peter has decided to re-join the Up series to continue his story.
