Nice chat with Roger McGough here.

Recently heard a bit of our audiobook, and I regret making Roger sound a bit of a flat scally – his voice is more of a Tarbuck-style mellifluous up-and-down. Sorry, Rog. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

It’s not just #FabFoolsFriday, it’s David Bowie Day – the one day between his birthday and deathday. This photo proves Paul was his favourite Beatle, but of course it’s The Rutles he’s best known for sneering at. youtu.be/ADgTb7srgcQ?... ✌🏽🎶🃏

Noisy salutes to the great Sir George Martin, the 7th Beatle and Master of Audio Comedy, on what should have been his 100th birthday! Maybe the kidnap did him no favours... www.reddit.com/r/TheBeatles...

What if The Beatles had covered Queen?

POPFAX: The 'My Sweet Lord' that George Harrison sang about was actually Quintin Hogg, Lord Hailsham. Sadly, he never got to know him after all.

Happy Xmas Eve! As those who have ever read an actual book know, The Muppet Christmas Carol is only the 7th or 8th best adaptation of Dickens' tale. This is the day when we enjoy the best one of all: THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS CAROL! www.dailymotion.com/video/x55f6ek

Merry #FabFools Friday, nits! As it’s the last before Crimble, we have no shame in making this week a repeat – dai.ly/x55f6ek

THE BEATLES CHRISTMAS CAROL is both the greatest thing made in the name of The Beatles since 1970, and the best version of the Scrooge story since 1843.

It's not #FabFoolsFriday, but it is our very pal Ron Nasty's birthday – 81 today in the not-shit universe – so here's a festive offering from Sir Neil Innes to mark the occasion. Still missing you, Neil. x youtu.be/efoit7hwXUc?... 🎄✌🏾🎶🃏🎅🏻

Surely all Beatle freaks will have agreed by now that Anthology 4 is a puzzling disappointment of truly surreal proportions. Yet, unlike any other band, the best bits are still the ones that make you laugh out loud. Like this one: #FabFoolsFriday youtube.com/playlist?lis... ✌🏽🎶🃏

The Beatles Anthology returns this #FabFoolsFriday! We all know the 4th record misses all the good stuff in the archives, but never mind – nothing will ever beat this, from the first album. All power to yer National Health eyeball. Altogether now, "WHEN THE STAAAARS…" youtu.be/KKDmJqFEv7s?... ✌🏽🃏🎶🥁🎸

Nobody's ever got anywhere near the deep importance of the relationship between Paul & George in The Beatles. They were the first Beatles to meet – *they* essentially created the spark for the band on the bus together. And I don't think G ever quite forgave P for then fawning over big boy John.
