n't done so
1098
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,720
is because it's not just a guitar
that's playing.
1099
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,760
(CHORD)
1100
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:16,840
A piano's being hit.
1101
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,240
If I just play the electric guitar,
you hear this.
1102
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,600
(CHORD) It sounds like
A Hard Day's Night
1103
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,800
but it's not, it's just a chord.
1104
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,960
If I play all four, two guitars and
two pianos,
1105
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,280
you get the depth of that chord.
1106
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,320
(CHORD)
1107
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,240
# It's been a hard day's night
1108
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,840
# And I've been working like a dog
1109
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,000
# It's been a hard day's night
1110
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,040
John Lennon wrote A Hard Day's Night
1111
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,400
with a little help from one of his
friends.
1112
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:48,640
# When I get home to you
1113
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,800
It was one of Ringo's little funny
sayings.
1114
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,800
He just said, "It's been a hard
day's night."
1115
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,720
# You know I work all day
1116
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,640
John looked at him and said,
"That's it.
1117
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,680
That's the title we want."
1118
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:05,800
Ringo's saying also gave us the
title of the Fab Four's first film,
1119
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,120
nominated for two Oscars,
1120
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:11,120
and setting records in the first week
of its release in Britain.
1121
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,000
# You know I feel OK
1122
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,160
I thought they were very funny in
the film.
1123
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:17,760
I thought they were naturals.
1124
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:22,200
They found an identity in the film
which was very real.
1125
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,760
It was sort of, "Yeah, they were the
boys I knew. That's fantastic."
1126
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,200
# It's been a hard day's night
1127
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,320
They didn't get them to play roles
they weren't comfortable with,
1128
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:36,320
they were basically playing
themselves.
1129
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,360
A very clever thing for them to do.
1130
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,040
# I should be sleeping like a log
1131
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,840
# But when I get home to you,
I find the things that you do
1132
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:49,520
Ringo and his character
is really well captured
1133
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,800
in that film. You've got an
inferiority complex, you have.
1134
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:54,440
I know, that's why I play the drums.
1135
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,520
Paul's 'cheeky-chappy,
everybody's friend' feel
1136
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,560
is also brilliantly caught.
1137
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,880
And John's rather sardonic feel.
1138
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,920
How did you find America?
1139
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,360
Turn left at Greenland.
1140
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,560
And George is allowed a
few rather wicked asides.
1141
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,480
What would you call that hair style
you're wearing?
1142
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,520
Arthur.
1143
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,880
For its Liverpool premiere
on July 10th, 1964,
1144
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,120
the four international movie stars
returned home...
1145
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,200
..to a reception even wilder than
those in the film.
1146
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,200
200,000 people were in Castle Street
and Dale Street alone.
1147
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,880
When they opened the doors to
go out onto the balcony
1148
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:42,920
the noise was horrendous.
1149
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,320
(MASS SCREAMING)
REPORTER: And there they are.
1150
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,360
Just listen to those screams.
1151
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:49,720
The police are having
a pretty tough time.
1152
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,280
It's certainly one of their hardest
day's nights.
1153
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,480
Looking out and seeing the whole
street just full.
1154
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,720
That's when I realised they were
famous. (LAUGHS)
1155
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:05,080
At No.8, the last of The Beatles'
amazing run of chart-toppers.
1156
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,640
An undoubted classic, but one which
splits opinion to this day.
1157
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,640
In April 1970,
1158
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,600
the same journalist who had been
following their progress
1159
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,040
since the days of Beatlemania
1160
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:20,680
broke the news that the greatest band
in history
1161
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,360
had decided to go
their seperate ways.
1162
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,400
From a journalist's point of view it
was a great scoop.
1163
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:29,560
But it was kind of sad
in many, many ways
1164
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,680
cos we'd travelled the road
a long time
1165
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:36,320
and those poor lads, it was the end
of the long and winding road.
1166
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,640
We'd reached it and I knew
we'd reached it.
1167
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,880
# The long and winding road
1168
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:50,080
# That leads to your door
1169
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,720
The Long And Winding Road is
the most outstanding record.
1170
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,240
# Will never disappear
1171
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,160
The melody, the voice.
Haunting vocal. Magic.
1172
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:05,360
# I've seen that road before
1173
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,280
But by the time it gave The Beatles
their 20th US number one
1174
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,520
in June, 1970, the band
were no longer together.
1175
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,840
And even this song was cause for
dispute.
1176
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,120
The Long And Winding Road
is a very strange story.
1177
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,640
First of all, the artist had no idea
1178
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,000
that it was going to sound like what
it sounded like
1179
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,440
because Phil Spector got it.
1180
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,440
Its writer, Paul McCartney,
1181
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,960
had no idea that maverick producer
Spector had been brought in.
1182
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,880
# Has left us full of tears
1183
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,280
His task, to tidy up
the unfinished tracks
1184
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,440
that George Martin had originally
recorded
1185
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,480
for what would become
the Let It Be album.
1186
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,200
And this was how it sounded when Phil
Spector first got hold of the song.
1187
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:57,760
# Why leave me standing here?
(GENTLE, LOW-KEY MUSIC)
1188
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,800
# Let me know the way
1189
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,720
Long And Winding Road sounds better
with a piano and very little else.
1190
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,320
# Many times I've been alone
1191
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,080
# And many times I've cried
1192
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:11,840
Because it's a real personal song.
1193
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,720
# Anyway, you've always known
1194
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,720
# The many ways I've tried
1195
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,720
# But still they lead me back
1196
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,440
So to put all that Spector rubbish
on it was wrong.
1197
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,600
(LOUD ORCHESTRATION PLAYS OVER SONG)
1198
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:31,280
Paul rang me up one day and said,
1199
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,960
"They've taken it to America and
given it to Phil Spector.
1200
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,720
They've put heavenly choirs and all
sorts of syrupy strings on it.
1201
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:40,800
On my songs!"
He was furious.
1202
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,560
# A long, long time ago
1203
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,120
I got a call, "Could you come and do
an arrangement
1204
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,040
for this song The Long And Winding
Road?"
1205
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,320
# Don't leave me waiting here
1206
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,240
I started off quite modestly,
you know.
1207
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,280
Six violins, three violas,
three cellos.
1208
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:59,040
# Lead me to your door
1209
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,600
But then I kept getting calls from
Phil saying,
1210
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,960
"I'd like a few more violins,
a few more strings.
1211
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,600
Some brass and some horns and some
harps and even a choir."
1212
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,720
I thought, "Oh..."
So I did it.
1213
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,520
And then the final snub
was that EMI said,
1214
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,040
"We wouldn't have your name -
My name - on the album."
1215
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,440
Because Phil Spector
had now produced it.
1216
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,760
And I said, "Let's have a
compromise.
1217
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:30,480
Why don't you say, "Produced by
George Martin. Overproduced by Phil
Spector"?"
1218
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,480
But they didn't get that one.
1219
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,480
# You left me waiting here
1220
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,840
# A long, long time ago
1221
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:50,120
# Don't leave me standing here
1222
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:59,600
# Lead me to your door... #
1223
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,480
The story of the next
Beatles number one
1224
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,520
in our exclusive countdown begins
here, in London,
1225
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:10,360
at the family home of Paul
McCartney's then-girlfriend,
1226
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,400
actress Jane Asher.
1227
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:15,160
Paul was living at the time
in our guestroom.
1228
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,600
One particular day, John came over
and joined him.
1229
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,400
They were down there
a couple of hours
1230
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,800
and then Paul stuck his head up the
stairs and asked if I wanted to come
down
1231
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,480
and hear what they were working on,
what they'd finished.
1232
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,960
They were sitting side-by-side on
the piano bench
1233
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,840
hammering away at the piano and
played I Want To Hold Your Hand
1234
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:32,880
for the first time
to anybody anywhere.
1235
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:36,960
You kind of go, "Am I going mad
1236
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,960
or is this just about the best pop
song I've ever heard in my life?"
1237
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,800
# Yeah, I'll tell you something
1238
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,760
# I think you'll understand
1239
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:50,320
# When I'll say that something
1240
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,800
# I want to hold your hand
1241
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:59,120
Landing UK number ones was becoming
business as usual for the Fab Four.
1242
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,960
This was their third in 1963 alone.
1243
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,920
But this song also started to climb
the American charts
1244
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,320
and so, by early 1964...
1245
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,000
# Please say to me
1246
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,040
..it had conquered
the Billboard Hot 100.
1247
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,600
# Let me hold your hand
1248
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,200
Just seven weeks earlier, they were
performing the song
1249
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,200
on Granada's local magazine show.
1250
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:23,040
Now The Beatles were playing it to
what seemed like the whole of
America.
1251
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:26,600
In the first week of February they
appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show
1252
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:31,280
to the largest television audience
to date, which was 73m people.
1253
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:37,480
# It's such a feeling that my love
that I can't hide
1254
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:41,840
I did see The Beatles play
the Ed Sullivan Show.
1255
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,000
And it was amazing.
1256
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,040
I fell in love with them.
1257
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,160
We were all saying who liked who.
1258
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,960
"I like Paul." "I like John."
"I like George."
1259
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,440
# You've got that something
1260
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:59,080
"I like Ringo."
# I want to hold your hand
1261
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,520
# I want to hold your hand
1262
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,360
The feel of I Want To Hold Your Hand
1263
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,840
was like something that came from
the moon.
1264
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:12,680
# And when I touch you,
I feel happy inside
1265
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,600
It was very, very, very different.
1266
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:20,000
# It's such a feeling that my love,
I can't hide
1267
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:24,960
It was more than just the song
that was making them so popular.
1268
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,240
They had a look, the personality,
1269
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,600
there was something about them that
kids just gravitated and loved.
1270
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,400
# I think you'll understand
1271
01:08:33,440 --> 01:08:37,040
# When I'll say that something
1272
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,600
# I want to hold your hand
1273
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,840
It was so quick, it was so deep,
it was so impactful.
1274
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:49,520
And during the year 1964,
they had 25 hit singles in America.
1275
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:54,560
# I want to hold your hand #
1276
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:59,400
(SCREAMING) We're moving on three
years now, to 1967
1277
01:08:59,440 --> 01:09:01,800
and the great Beatles album
that got away.
1278
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,840
# Strawberry Fields Forever
1279
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,520
The Beatles decided to make
a concept album.
1280
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,840
About their life and early days in
Liverpool.
1281
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:21,680
The first song for it,
which Paul wrote, was Penny Lane.
1282
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:24,560
And then John wrote
Strawberry Fields Forever.
1283
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,600
But sadly, the Liverpool-themed album
was not to be.
1284
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,080
Instead, the two songs
were brought together
1285
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,040
for what many consider
the greatest double-A side ever.
1286
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,240
It's amazing to think that this
classic combination
1287
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,440
was the first Beatles single
for four years
1288
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:44,480
not to reach number one in the UK.
1289
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,800
But Penny Lane's slice
of Liverpool life
1290
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:50,360
did strike a chord in the States
1291
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:52,480
where it reached the top of the
charts.
1292
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,640
And tonight,
it's No.6 in our countdown.
1293
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:02,000
# In Penny Lane, there is a
barber showing photographs
1294
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,800
# Of every head he's had the
pleasure to know
1295
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:10,240
# And all the people
that come and go
1296
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,000
# Stop and say hello
1297
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,880
Penny Lane is such a beautifully
crafted song.
1298
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:18,880
# On the corner, there's
a banker with a motorcar
1299
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:20,960
# The little children laugh at him
1300
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,880
Every little bit of it is so catchy.
1301
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:29,800
# And the banker never wears a mack
in the pouring rain
1302
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,640
Really fantastic production as well.
1303
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,640
# Penny Lane is in my ears
and in my eyes
1304
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,680
It was a bus terminus, Penny Lane,
1305
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,600
in South Liverpool
where we all lived.
1306
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:46,240
# There beneath the blue suburban
skies
1307
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,600
And we'd all sort of meet at
Penny Lane and go to places.
1308
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,960
# In Penny Lane, there is
a fireman with an hour glass
1309
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,880
# And in his pocket is
a portrait of the Queen
1310
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,960
# He likes to keep his fire engine
clean
1311
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:03,880
# It's a clean machine
1312
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,440
All those beautiful images of the
people in Penny Lane
1313
01:11:06,480 --> 01:11:08,440
captivated Americans' imaginations
1314
01:11:08,480 --> 01:11:10,760
and to think of - And I honestly
mean this -
1315
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:16,520
Liverpool as some exotic place
with all of these wonderful images
1316
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,560
because The Beatles made these
images come to life.
1317
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:27,280
# Penny Lane is in my ears and in my
eyes
1318
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:31,600
50 years on, tourists still flock to
see the places mentioned in the song.
1319
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:35,320
Where we are now is at the very top
end of Penny Lane.
1320
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,160
And just over on the other side
1321
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,160
you'll see the famous things that
The Beatles sang about.
1322
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,440
# Behind the shelter in the middle
of a roundabout
1323
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:45,680
The shelter in the middle of a
roundabout
1324
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,080
where pretty nurses sold poppies
from a tray.
1325
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,280
Just over to the right you'll see
the bank
1326
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,120
where the banker never wore a mack
in the pouring rain.
1327
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,920
And just a little bit further up is
the famous barber's shop.
1328
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:00,200
# In Penny Lane, the barber shaves
another customer
1329
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,480
# We see the banker sitting waiting
for a trim
1330
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,880
I used to live just behind Penny
Lane hill.
1331
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,520
# Then the fireman rushes in
1332
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:11,920
I spent many, many months,
years of my life
1333
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:13,960
walking up and down Penny Lane.
1334
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:18,160
# Penny Lane is in my ears
and in my eyes
1335
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,160
It brings a tear to one's eye,
almost.
1336
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,120
I thought it just captured the
atmosphere there.
1337
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:27,680
# There beneath the
blue suburban skies
1338
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,680
# I sit and meanwhile back
1339
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:36,040
All You Need Is Love was their great
Imperial moment
1340
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:39,600
because it was written specially for
this television show, Our World.
1341
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:44,520
Broadcast in June 1967,
this was the first TV programme
1342
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,880
to be beamed around the world by
satellite.
1343
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:51,560
Good evening. This should be
a moment in television history
1344
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,240
because this programme
will bring together
1345
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:57,400
more places throughout the world
than has ever been possible before.
1346
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:01,440
19 countries provided performances
1347
01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:04,680
and representing the UK
were The Beatles
1348
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,120
with their latest single live from
Abbey Road.
1349
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:10,360
I remember watching this as a kid
and what was so exciting
1350
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:14,080
was we were told this was gonna be
a global broadcast.
1351
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,120
The entire world was
gonna be watching.
1352
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,560
In the next two hours,
everything will be live.
1353
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,000
No film or recordings.
1354
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,760
This commission, really,
"Can you write a song
1355
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:24,280
the whole world is gonna sing?"
1356
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,400
And only The Beatles would have
accepted that.
1357
01:13:26,440 --> 01:13:29,720
Terrifying challenge. Probably only
The Beatles would have succeeded.
1358
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,760
OK, Geoff?
Right, here we go.
1359
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,480
Here comes the tape.
1360
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:35,520
# French National Anthem
1361
01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:43,000
I felt really nervous
on The Beatles' behalf.
1362
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:46,440
I remember watching it live and
thinking, "The whole world's
watching!"
1363
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:49,240
# Love, love, love
1364
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,800
And eventually the camera alights on
John Lennon
1365
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,560
who, if I remember rightly, had his
hands on his headphones
1366
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:00,240
and his eyes shut, and was
completely self-possessed.
1367
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,560
# There's nothing you can do that
can't be done
1368
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,040
# Nothing you can sing
that can't be sung
1369
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:08,720
And was chewing gum.
1370
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,880
# Nothing you can say, but you can
learn how to play the game
1371
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:14,120
# It's easy
1372
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:16,520
And I can remember thinking,
"This is brilliant.
1373
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:17,760
How cool are The Beatles?"
1374
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,160
# Nothing you can make
that can't be made
1375
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:25,120
# No-one you can save
that can't be saved
1376
01:14:26,480 --> 01:14:29,960
The broadcast came just as the
Summer of Love was in full swing.
1377
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,280
With a song that summed up
an era of optimism.
1378
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,200
# All you need is love
1379
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:40,280
Love used to be talked about a lot
in the 1960s.
1380
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:42,040
There should be a better way of
living
1381
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,360
and everybody just cooperating with
each other.
1382
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,400
# All you need is love, love
1383
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:48,960
And The Beatles were very influenced
by that.
1384
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,800
# Love is all you need
1385
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,800
In the build-up to this moment of
history,
1386
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,160
fellow Cavern graduates
The Merseybeats
1387
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,440
were allowed a rare glimpse of
The Beatles at work in the studio
1388
01:14:58,480 --> 01:15:00,480
as the song came together.
1389
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,880
They'd done the backing track -
# Love, love, love
1390
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,760
# Love, love, love
# Love, love, love
1391
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,400
That's all they had. And they said
to us, "What do you think?"
1392
01:15:12,440 --> 01:15:14,400
What did you say?
"I like the words..."
1393
01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:16,440
# All you need is love
1394
01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:19,680
But then Paul kept popping his head
outside and said,
1395
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:22,240
"John, have you written any lyrics
to this song yet?"
1396
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:26,400
And John said, "We've got two days.
It doesn't go out live till Friday."
1397
01:15:26,440 --> 01:15:28,920
# Nothing you can know that isn't
known
1398
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:33,440
# Nothing you can see
that isn't shown
1399
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,440
# There's nowhere you can be that
isn't where you're meant to be
1400
01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:39,480
It's this ultimate singalong song.
1401
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:43,400
It was uplifting and it meant
something and it really worked.
1402
01:15:43,440 --> 01:15:45,440
# All you need is love
1403
01:15:45,480 --> 01:15:49,680
I just felt so incredibly proud
that this wonderful band
1404
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:54,480
were performing a breathtaking song
and representing our country.
1405
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,240
I thought, "I bet all the other
countries in the world
1406
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,480
are probably a little bit jealous,
actually."
1407
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,160
# All you need is love
# All together now
1408
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,880
# All you need is love
1409
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:08,920
# Everybody
1410
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,280
At No.4, the McCartney classic from
the Revolver album
1411
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,080
that topped the singles chart in 1966
1412
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,520
as a double-A side
with Yellow Submarine.
1413
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:24,240
# Ah, look at all the lonely people
1414
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:31,280
What I loved about Eleanor Rigby
is the fact you follow her journey
1415
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,600
and they made her feel very real.
1416
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:37,560
# Eleanor Rigby picks
up the rice in a church
1417
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,600
# Where a wedding has been
1418
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:40,720
It's so heartbreaking.
1419
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,280
# Lives in a dream
1420
01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,720
It's verging on poetry.
1421
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:48,080
# Wearing a face that she keeps
in a jar by the door
1422
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,560
It's a poetic lyric, but then it's
got a massive punchline.
1423
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,280
# All the lonely people
1424
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,720
"All the lonely people,
where do they all come from?"
1425
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,120
Oh, it's the lyric of a lifetime,
that.
1426
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,400
# All the lonely people
1427
01:17:00,440 --> 01:17:02,120
Eleanor Rigby's very unusual.
1428
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,680
It's the first time The Beatles
didn't play any instruments on their
records.
1429
01:17:05,720 --> 01:17:11,360
# Father McKenzie, writing the words
of a sermon that no-one will hear
1430
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:13,800
What they did is they recorded
a double string quartet
1431
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,320
and my dad talked to Paul about it
1432
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:18,200
and they listened
to Bernard Hermann.
1433
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,720
Bernard Hermann was
a famous film composer
1434
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,920
who is famous for Psycho.
1435
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,280
As the woman is attacked in the
shower, there's -
1436
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,240
(MIMICS HIGH-PITCHED VIOLIN STRINGS)
1437
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,360
# All the lonely people
1438
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,400
It's an incredibly aggressive sound.
1439
01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:36,680
It's almost like a 24-year-old
Liverpudlian saying,
1440
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,760
"I want a string quartet
to sound like this"
1441
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,480
and using my dad as
a translator for that.
1442
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,520
Paul has said the name Eleanor Rigby
1443
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,520
came from combining the names of
actress Eleanor Bron
1444
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,440
with a Bristol wine shop.
1445
01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:52,480
But intriguingly, a stone's throw
from where John and Paul
1446
01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:55,880
first met in 1957, this gravestone
can be found.
1447
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,840
# Eleanor Rigby died in the church
1448
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:00,440
# And was buried alone with her name
1449
01:18:00,480 --> 01:18:03,760
The majority of fans love the idea
that there is a true Eleanor Rigby
1450
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,200
so they're not that particularly
bothered
1451
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,760
that Paul says it's to do with the
actress Eleanor Bron.
1452
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,800
They still want to come and see this
grave in St Peter's church.
1453
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,360
# No-one was saved
1454
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:14,960
# All the lonely people
1455
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:19,560
It's strange to have a number one
that is only a string quartet and
vocal.
1456
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:22,520
And it's just the thought of being
able to come into a studio,
1457
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,440
tear up the rule book,
break the mould,
1458
01:18:24,480 --> 01:18:27,520
and then move onto something else.
It was just very Beatles.
1459
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:33,760
# Here Comes The Sun
1460
01:18:35,440 --> 01:18:38,720
Welcome back as we're nearing the end
of our incredible journey
1461
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,600
to reveal the nation's favourite
Beatles No.1.
1462
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,400
And we're now into our top three
1463
01:18:45,440 --> 01:18:49,640
and the epic title track from the
Fab Four's final album and film...
1464
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,840
..based on a dream Paul McCartney had
about his late mother, Mary.
1465
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,840
# When I find myself
in times of trouble
1466
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,680
# Mother Mary comes to me
1467
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:09,200
# Speaking words of wisdom,
"Let it be"
1468
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,800
# And in my hour of darkness
1469
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:17,240
# She is standing right
in front of me
1470
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:22,200
# Speaking words of wisdom,
"Let it be"
1471
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,920
Paul has said
the dream came to him
1472
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,160
during a difficult time
in the band's history
1473
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:28,840
when Mary appeared to him saying,
1474
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,160
"It will be all right.
Just let it be."
1475
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,200
# Whisper words of wisdom,
"Let it be"
1476
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,520
The dream that he had about his
mother,
1477
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,680
I can imagine him having
an experience like that.
1478
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:43,960
It's quite mystical, isn't it?
1479
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:48,600
# There will be an answer, let it be
1480
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:52,120
When she died, it was a big, big
thing to him.
1481
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:54,800
He was very, very close
with his mum.
1482
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,800
The fact that he wanted
to put that into music,
1483
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,200
trying to sort it out in some kind
of creative way through a song,
1484
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,240
that's very him.
1485
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:09,840
# Let it be, let it be,
let it be, let it be
1486
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:15,040
# There will be an answer, let it be
1487
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:18,040
# Let it be
1488
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,360
They allowed men to be able to go,
"You know what?
1489
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,680
This is OK to be emotional,
to talk like this."
1490
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,240
We've a lot to thank them for.
1491
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:27,680
# Whisper words of wisdom,
"Let it be"
1492
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:31,840
They wrote those songs,
the kind of early anthemic songs,
1493
01:20:31,880 --> 01:20:34,800
that we all wanted to get behind
and put our hands up in the air
1494
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:36,840
and say, "Yep, that's part of me."
1495
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,040
It just sounded very spiritual.
Like a gospel song.
1496
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:57,280
It's a very kind of stripped back,
simple way
1497
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:59,320
of delivering that message.
1498
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,720
It says it all needs to say and
there's no need for elaboration.
1499
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,640
It pretty much sums up how to deal
with any situation
1500
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,600
when you're really struggling.
1501
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:17,920
# Let it be, let it be
let it be, yeah, let it be
1502
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:21,240
This would be the final single
released before McCartney left the
band
1503
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:23,560
and The Beatles were no more.
1504
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:26,320
Let It Be has a finality to it.
1505
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:30,440
It almost sounds like
a song for the critics.
1506
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,600
The end of the film.
# Whisper words of wisdom,
1507
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,320
# "Let it be"
1508
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:50,600
We're now just one Beatles classic
away from the end of our countdown.
1509
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:55,760
And at No.2, the most recorded song
in pop history.
1510
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,920
3,000 cover versions
so far and counting.
1511
01:21:59,960 --> 01:22:01,960
# Yesterday
1512
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:07,920
# All my troubles seemed so far away
1513
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:12,040
# Now it looks as though they're
here to stay
1514
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,760
# Oh, I believe in yesterday
1515
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,280
Yesterday is one of those songs
where you could have taken it a
number of ways.
1516
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,720
Ultimately it had to be stripped
back.
1517
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:26,120
It had to just sing to you,
like, you know, like a lullaby.
1518
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,320
# There's a shadow hanging over me
1519
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:34,880
# Yesterday came suddenly
1520
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:41,440
# Why she had to go, I don't know
1521
01:22:41,480 --> 01:22:44,200
# She wouldn't say
1522
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:50,360
# I said something wrong
1523
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,360
# Now I long for yesterday
1524
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,920
It's got a very identifiable
sentiment.
1525
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,960
# Yesterday
1526
01:22:59,440 --> 01:23:03,200
# Love was such an easy game to play
1527
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:06,960
# Now I need a place to hide away
1528
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,040
Slightly yearning
for what's gone by.
1529
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,160
# Oh, I believe in yesterday
1530
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:14,080
It's a beautiful song that connects
with people.
1531
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:20,080
# Why she had to go, I don't know
1532
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,680
# She wouldn't say
1533
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:26,240
Just like Let It Be,
1534
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,000
this was another song that came to
Paul in a dream.
1535
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,160
# Now I long for yesterday
1536
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,200
And another song born
at the family home
1537
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,240
of Paul's girlfriend, Jane Asher.
1538
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:40,160
He woke up with the song
in his head, finished, the melody.
1539
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,760
He assumed it was a
pre-existing song.
1540
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,960
# Now I need a place to hide away
1541
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:51,200
My mum remembered him wandering down
to breakfast as it were saying,
1542
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,400
"What is this song I've got stuck in
my head?"
1543
01:23:53,440 --> 01:23:56,120
She said, "It's very nice,
but I've never heard it before."
1544
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:01,960
And it eventually dawned on him
that he'd written it in his sleep.
1545
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:05,960
Yesterday is a really special song.
1546
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,480
I just can't imagine a world where
the song doesn't exist.
1547
01:24:10,480 --> 01:24:12,480
Thank you, Ringo.
That was wonderful.
1548
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,440
Thank you, John. But the time for
joking is over
1549
01:24:15,480 --> 01:24:18,520
as we reach the end of our journey
through the extraordinary career
1550
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:20,560
of the Fab Four.
1551
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:26,120
It's finally time to reveal the song
ITV viewers have voted
1552
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,520
as the greatest Beatles number one
ever.
1553
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,800
Tonight we've enjoyed songs that
summed up the '60s.
1554
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,840
Songs of pure genius.
1555
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,040
Songs that changed the world.
1556
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:43,200
And at No.1, it's an anthem
that's moved millions of us
1557
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,240
since 1968.
1558
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:49,560
A seven-minute epic written by Paul
for John's son Julian.
1559
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,640
Prepare to sing along with the
nation's favourite Beatles number
one.
1560
01:24:57,440 --> 01:24:59,960
# Hey, Jude
1561
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:03,480
# Don't make it bad
1562
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:07,600
# Take a sad song
1563
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,920
# And make it better
1564
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:15,680
# Remember to let her
into your heart
1565
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:22,400
# Then you can start
to make it better
1566
01:25:22,440 --> 01:25:25,640
# Hey, Jude
1567
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:29,120
# Don't be afraid
1568
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:35,440
# You were made to go out
and get her
1569
01:25:36,440 --> 01:25:40,120
John Lennon loved that song because
it was written for Julian.
1570
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:44,400
It was Paul's way of saying,
"I know your parents are divorced
1571
01:25:44,440 --> 01:25:46,440
but things are gonna be OK."
1572
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:48,480
What a present to give to someone.
1573
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,920
And it was a beautiful gift in our
lifetime, for us.
1574
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,800
# And any time you feel the pain
1575
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,120
# Hey, Jude, refrain
1576
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,320
# Don't carry the world
1577
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,280
# Upon your shoulders
1578
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,960
The song has open arms in the way
that it's saying, "Don't worry."
1579
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,840
You want to sing it with each other
and to each other, whoever you're
with.
1580
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:20,200
# By making his world
a little colder
1581
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,640
It's one of the true pop anthems.
1582
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,440
It's one of the oldest
and...and greatest.
1583
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,840
But recording this great pop anthem
wasn't all plain sailing.
1584
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,880
# Hey, Jude
1585
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,360
# Don't let me down
1586
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,320
The first two days spent on it at
Abbey Road were caught on camera.
1587
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:40,120
Great for us now,
but not at the time.
1588
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:46,400
There was a film crew in.
Typical of a film crew,
1589
01:26:46,440 --> 01:26:49,000
they said, "Don't worry, you won't
know we're there."
1590
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,120
Well, we did. They were in
everyone's faces.
1591
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,160
Everyone was quite irate.
1592
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:55,480
We finished up not getting anything.
1593
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,040
# So let it out and let it in
1594
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,680
It eventually took six days to
record Hey Jude,
1595
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,400
the longest time needed
for any Beatles single.
1596
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:08,800
It would also be the longest Beatles
number one.
1597
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:10,680
A running time of over seven minutes
1598
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:13,280
meant the band were
breaking yet more rules.
1599
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,560
# Don't you know that it's just you?
1600
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,240
# Hey, Jude
1601
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,560
Back then, radio was two-and-a-half,
three minute songs.
1602
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:22,720
I don't think that anyone thought
that Hey Jude
1603
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:26,400
would get the amount of play that it
did get, but it was The Beatles.
1604
01:27:26,440 --> 01:27:28,440
Who's not going to play The Beatles?
1605
01:27:31,440 --> 01:27:34,880
When The Beatles premiered the song
on The David Frost Show on ITV
1606
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:38,640
in September 1968,
this was a real TV occasion.
1607
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:40,680
# Don't make it bad
1608
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,440
And for the big singalong
chorus at the end,
1609
01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:47,880
director Michael Lindsay-Hogg
decided to pull out all the stops.
1610
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,840
We realised that just being
on The Beatles
1611
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,240
for the four-minute closing chorus
wouldn't sustain.
1612
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,400
And so Paul and I thought
wouldn't it be interesting
1613
01:27:59,440 --> 01:28:06,160
to get people in as an audience,
to represent the world?
1614
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:09,160
# Nah, nah, nah-nah-nah
1615
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,320
Housewives, students.
1616
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,520
Certainly multi-cultural.
1617
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:17,400
They just sang the song and when
they got to the "Nah, nah, nah" part
1618
01:28:17,440 --> 01:28:19,440
we all had to run on.
1619
01:28:19,480 --> 01:28:22,000
I was about two people away
from Ringo
1620
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,040
and singing my heart out.
1621
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:29,480
It was a once-in-a-lifetime.
It's a really lovely memory.
1622
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:37,680
# Nah, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah-nah
1623
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:39,320
Nothing beats the end.
1624
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,600
When it's the big singalong,
'hands in the air'.
1625
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,160
At that point as well, if you've got
a room full of people
1626
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:46,080
it doesn't matter if they
can sing or not.
1627
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,160
If they want to shout along,
that works.
1628
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:54,360
If you don't join in on Hey Jude
there's something wrong with you.
1629
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:59,920
I love it. Neverending, "Nah, nah,
nah, nah-nah-nah..."
1630
01:28:59,960 --> 01:29:02,400
# Nah, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah
1631
01:29:02,440 --> 01:29:03,840
The legacy is their music.
1632
01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:07,800
Those songs that we all join hands
and sing along to at the end of the
night.
1633
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:09,840
God bless The Beatles.
1634
01:29:12,440 --> 01:29:14,960
It's now over 50 years
since The Beatles
1635
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,600
first came, saw and
conquered the world.
1636
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,960
Today, sadly, it's a world
without John.
1637
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,360
A world without George.
1638
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,160
But the legacy of the greatest band
in history
1639
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,200
remains as strong as ever.
1640
01:29:29,240 --> 01:29:31,240
# Nah-nah-nah-nah
1641
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:35,760
# Nah-nah-nah-nah,
hey, Jude
1642
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:41,720
To go from Love Me Do to Hey Jude in
seven-and-a-bit years is staggering.
1643
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:43,760
You know, it's staggering.
1644
01:29:45,480 --> 01:29:48,280
I've had holidays longer than that,
do you know what I mean?
1645
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,320
# Hey, Jude
1646
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:54,400
The Beatles are the Shakespeare of
popular music.
1647
01:29:54,440 --> 01:29:56,440
# Nah, nah-nah-nah
1648
01:29:56,480 --> 01:29:59,040
There's a quality and a longevity
to what they did
1649
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,920
that will outlast all of them
and all of us.
1650
01:30:04,200 --> 01:30:06,760
Their songs will go on
and on and on.
1651
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:10,480
Like the music of Mozart, it'll
stand the test of time cos it's so
unique.
1652
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:14,280
# Nah-nah-nah-nah,
hey, Jude
1653
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:17,560
You listen to a Beatles record and
generally
1654
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:19,720
it will make your day
a little bit better.
1655
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,120
They've given the world a
huge amount of enjoyment
1656
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:24,120
and it's as simple as that.
1657
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:27,760
# Nah, nah-nah-nah,
hey, Jude
1658
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,080
On behalf of the band,
1659
01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:32,400
I'd like to thank everyone in the UK
1660
01:30:32,440 --> 01:30:36,160
for their continuing love and
appreciation for our music.
1661
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:40,080
Our early success was all down to
your wonderful support
1662
01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:42,440
and we have never forgotten that.
1663
01:30:42,480 --> 01:30:44,560
Thank you.
1664
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,720
Paul, you're up next.
1665
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:49,200
Hello, there. This has been a great
programme
1666
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,120
and I'm very happy to be part of it.
1667
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:53,440
I can't believe that after all these
years,
1668
01:30:53,480 --> 01:30:57,040
people are still listening to
The Beatles, still playing the music
1669
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,400
and I send my best.
1670
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:02,040
# Nah, nah-nah-nah
1671
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,560
Have a great one.
1672
01:31:04,600 --> 01:31:07,080
Peace and love.
1673
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:14,720
# Nah, nah-nah-nah
1674
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:19,760
# Nah, nah-nah-nah
hey, Jude
1675
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:27,360
# Nah, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah-nah,
1676
01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,760
# Nah, nah-nah-nah
hey, Jude
1677
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:41,440
# Nah, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah-nah,
1678
01:31:41,480 --> 01:31:45,520

hey, Jude
1679
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:53,160
# Nah, nah, nah, nah-nah-nah-nah,
1680
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:57,600
# Nah, nah-nah-nah
hey, Jude
