  • Brilliant!

    I loved listening to old interviews intertwined with snippets of Beatles’ songs. Poignant, moving and beautiful; very much like the legacy of their music. Brought a tear to my eye at the end. Thank you.

  • Fascinating and moving

    Hard to compress the Beatles into 3 hours but given that it was excellent. Great interview clips, memories and commentary. Gems and nuggets sprinkled throughout and some very moving moments. Absolutely worth your time if you have any interest in the Beatles.

  • Informative

    As a massive Kylie Fan I thought I knew a lot but this is helping me learn more about the Queen of Pop. It’s a good time for an era deep dive due to the release of Tension. I recommend this to all Kylie Minogue fans.
