This is exactly what it purports to be: A book about The Beatles at the BBC. It faithfully recreates many of the appearances and interviews The Beatles--both together and separately--participated in at the Beeb over the years.

Through it, you can watch their rise and fall. And, though many of the early interviews are goonish, which was, of course, what the public wanted from the, you can also see them maturing into their different personalities. You can see them taking up causes and moving show more deeper into their own individual lives.

An interesting book. And I love Lennon's comments about meeting with Canada's own Prime Minister Trudeau. He fully admits to not trusting and not liking politicians, but obviously Trudeau impressed him. And that's impressive in it's own right. show less
