Child of Our Time is a documentary commissioned by the BBC, co-produced with the Open University and presented by Robert Winston. It follows the lives of 25 children, born at the beginning of the 21st century, as they grow from infancy, through childhood, and on to becoming young adults.

After 2008 new episodes became less frequent, and in 2011 there was some doubt about the future of the programme, including from Winsto
