    Sarah Burt here- happily married with 3 beautiful adult boys. Working as an Accounts Payable Manager for a top house building company in London. Living in a desirable area within Buckinghamshire. Currently on a luxury Kenya safari holiday to celebrate my 50th. Not bad for a working class girl if such a thing!! 😊

    The BBC should really do a follow up on this, not only where the girls are now - but also the schools and how attitudes have changed.

    All four girls were thoughtful and articulate.  Hope they are doing well now.

    Although the schools were very different, the girls the,selves were quite similar to each other—they were all thoughtful and well mannered.

    I felt quite sorry for the girl (Sarah I think) who started off saying she was definitely middle class, then at the end she thought she was working class. &nbsp;I hope the experience didn&apos;t dent her confidence.<br>As with most of these types of films I&apos;d love to know what became of these girls.

    In the 90’s I was firmly in the underclass. For the main part my parents didn’t work &amp; we lived under the breadline. I’m now married to a public school boy. My car is posher than his. My job pays more. It’s a funny old world. This experiment was recently repeated and one of the kids, a boy, was given a scholarship for the private school.
