The relationship between The Beatles and the BBC has always been a special and fascinating one. This programme looks back at some
key moments that saw the BBC document the band’s journey as they went from Merseybeat heroes with mop-tops and MBEs to seeing
out the sixties as long-haired heroes of the counter-culture.
In the early years, an interview on the BBC was something the band would pursue and embrace, but as their fame spread, their TV
appearances became increasingly rare. The changing dynamic is captured here through a combination of classic music performances
and the very best moments from the BBC’s archives. Songs featured include the fresh sound of She Loves You to the era-defining special
performance of All You Need Is Love.
