Customer Reviews

fabtastic dvd
i bought this one a year ago, its brilliant lots of unseen footage that i have never seen before,also you get a `bonus` documentary about `john lennon`s jesus christ remark ` itv 1966, dont take my word for it...buy it!!!

Lost and Found
The story of the Beatles has been told yet again but this time with lots of footage I had never seen before, so it was a great pleasure to watch. For example, I had never seen any footage about Ringo and George's weddings. I've never heard Maureen speak before. Lots of information about Ringo's tonsils. Even George speaks more than usual ! I'm really pleased I bought this and I'll watch it again.

Tattifilarious!
A bargain - worth the price for the Beatles vs Ken Dodd interview alone. This is the full, unedited 1963 Late Show Extra Gay Byrne interview with Doddy and the fab four...very rare and a great laugh. The rest of the disc features little seen interviews and other seldom shown footage. Don't be put off by the rather cheap looking packaging.
