Timing very curious. Administratively this is not easy, but it’s not so hard as to need 3.5 years. Also - Not everyone will reclaim their higher rate relief so they’ll make savings there

On the way, we debated what Paul would sing and agreed no way he’d tackle Wah Wah! The Joe Brown finale was perfection on the night and I still have the petals.

A wonderful listen. I was also fortunate enough to attend on the night - in the 8th row - close enough to see Tom Hanks. I’d got through to the booking office on the phone and asked for the 4 best tx they had, at an exorbitant £150 each. (1/2)

I saw this recently and really enjoyed it. Partway through you realise how it’s going to have to end but they still manage a twist and even a smile. Deserves to be better known.

And on the latter point, always worth directing people to the oldest British football magazine, World Soccer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_S...

Can I commend this for your viewing pleasure? A charming way of using the PID story. They even manage to wring a wry smile out of the inevitable ending www.youtube.com/watch?v=98yl...

Very much looking forward to hearing what you make of GMRTBS. The fact it's been up on YT for 4 years is a clue as to its commercial value. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk1a...

I read this as an indication that Man On The Run film will be out at the same time and it’d be a shame not to have some accompanying merch available. But what surprises me more is this comes out _before_ anthology.

That suggests the next volume is still a way off! Well, full marks to Mark for not compromising on quality for volume 2.

Not sure how I feel about this. I’ll definitely watch because the original show was fantastic, but does this mean the next book is still a way off?

I take no pleasure in noting that Woman Is… was one of the few John songs omitted from the One To One film.

It’s an excellent series. The reduced opinion might be to do with reduced access? Anyway, I’d like to see a refreshed version with better quality visuals - those do need updating.

The only possible good outcome from this game is that one side has 5 players sent off (ideally Tottenham) and the game has to be abandoned. Yes, I am a West Ham fan.

Was at the same showing. It’s a genuinely brilliant film - can’t think of many better Beatles documentaries. Great to hear that a video version of the whole concert will come out.

This is not the lovable moptops of AHDN. (You could even read it as them actively seeking to push a restrictive audience away, like the Monkees Head).
Which is why in the US it aired on the student circuit and not network tv. Still love it though!

Given the vast majority of the population didn’t have colour set, making a film that demanded to be seen in colour was foolhardy at best, no? For me, MMTs problem is not that it was shown in b&w but that it was shown in a peak viewing slot on Boxing Day. Completely the wrong film for that audience.

Fun fact about Auntie Jessie. She and Happy Nat are also in the Herman’s Hermits film Mrs Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter, made at about the same time. #FabFeb

So John’s comments are actually a rare example of his wealth detaching him from reality. We can be pretty sure he had a colour TV but his fans did not. And c) the colour/b&w debate doesn’t explain why the Beatles, the biggest act ever, couldn’t get _any_ US network to pick it up.

3 things here. A) BBC1 did not broadcast in colour at the time. Only BBC2 did and it had only started in July 67. Which gets us to b) very few people on the UK had colour TVs at that time. Even by 1969, only 100,000 households had colour sets. www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/objects-and-....
