5/10
a long and fairly boring series
16 September 2003
This is a documentary on the Beatles, done completely with interviews from various family members, friends and aquaintances of the bands. The interviews go into excruciating detail, giving you insight into such things as how Stuart Sutcliffe got his first bass guitar and how on the Beatles first record they were named the Beat Brothers because Tony Sheridan didn't like their name. Most of it is pretty boring stuff although you do learn a few genuine tidbits of information amongst the endless blabber of people like Allan Williams. Quite bit of the information is repeated however, and there is far more talk about trivial little things than actual important things like their recordings. Check out the documentary "The Compleat Beatles", a far better (and shorter) history of this remarkable band.
