In 1991, when so many acts from the 60s were lucratively touring, George Harrison decided to dip his toes in the water.

Why? Money. Where? Japan. Who? Clapton. What…could possibly go wrong?

S02E12: Beatles For Sale

The Beatles fourth album from December 1964 didn’t even get a proper release in the USA, and for the longest time has been treated as the runt of the litter. It is an essential album from a group who in a year had become the most famous people in the world; an album born from touring the world and meeting Bob Dylan. It’s time to listen to it again.

S02E11: The Beatles Anthology at 25 - The Making Of, 1992-1995

After 25 year long & winding road of The Long & Winding Road documentary, The Beatles Anthology starts to become a real thing at the end of 1992. But there are mountains to climb, decisions to be made, egos to soothe... this long & winding road remains a bumpy one.

S02E10: 1974 - Part Two

The second half of 1974 and it’s all go for the Fab Four: George starts a label, Ringo starts a label, John sees a UFO, and Paul’s drummer breaks his foot practising karate. As a group, are they are moving back together, or further apart?

S02E09: 1974 - Part One

At the end of 1973, the stage was set for a year of Beatle activity. The Ringo album had shown a way for the Fab Four to work together, and a little record called Band On The Run came out. John & Paul were communicating again, and George is going out on the road. What could possibly go wrong..?

S02E08: Fifth Beatles

There have been many claims to the title of Fifth Beatle since the phrase first appeared in 1964. Is it possible to define what it means and who is the most deserving of the accolade? Can there really be only one true Fifth Beatle? Did the Fab Four themselves ever agree on the true Fifth Fab?

S02E07: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Part Two

Once the Beatles had Sgt Pepper recorded, the album still had to be delivered to the outside world. The album appeared all over the world at the perfect time, in the perfect sleeve. For 53 years the question has been: Is Sgt Pepper perfect? The answer...

S02E06: Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Part One

When the Beatles put out their eighth album in May 1967, the consensus was that nobody needed to release any more records ever - it was just that good. In this episode, the first of two parts, Steven & Jason look at how the album came together.
