"BBC Beatles Special" - The Beatles

Bill Kenwright presents "The Beatles at the Beeb"The programme's highlights are archive recordings, some not heard for more than four decades, but its pleasures were in the more ordinary moments of banter. And Kenwright linked it all smoothly, with an excitement that felt genuine ("We've only had a 30-second intro and already I'm in heaven..."). He extended a hand to the listener: "You and I are going to hear gems from the BBC archive," he promises. We listen to 60s presenters trying to sound groovy with their quirky questions. Brian Matthew came in for constant ribbing from the band; their aim, he said, was "to put me down in as good-natured a way as possible". Producers spoke of barely controlled mayhem, and sounded terrified. "They'd come to the studio and horse about," we learned. "They'd be lying on the floor – people getting locked in the toilets, fooling about." It all sounded like sweet, innocent japery. On-air at least, the wildest it got was the band going "baaa" when they heard the surname "Lamb". Really interesting.
