BBC Programmes

[Bumblebee]

Here are some broadcasts by the BBC of programmes they made commemorating various Beatle events:

*Sgt Pepper Forever 30th Anniversary, broadcast R2 June 1997

*40th Anniversary of the White album broadcast R2 22 November 2008

*Apple Scruffs broadcast R2 2 November 1996

* I Hope We Passed The Audition broadcast R2 27 January 2009

This is a very good one on the Rooftop concert. I spoke with the producer of this one as ahead of making the programme the BBC asked for people who were involved in the concert to come forward for possible inclusion. My brother was in Savile Row that fateful day and witnessed part of the show. Unfortunately the BBC were more interested in people who had some sort of direct involvement so my brothers chance in the radio limelight didn't happen. He'd also been absent from the original Let It Be film but he does pop up in the Peter Jackson documentary.

* Bigger Than Jesus broadcast R2 29 August 2010

*Only A Northern Song broadcast R2 24 July 2007

*On The Record broadcast R4 5 September 2004

Thanks for these. I've got a soft spot for the BBC radio programmes and have been recording them since the early 80's. I probably have these already but I'm always on the lookout for upgraded copies.

Good idea! Thanks for posting these, we should do an entire thread since the last one on BZ was a long time ago.

The SiriusXM specials would be great to have all in one place too!

Thanks so much for these. Top quality recordings of some top quality documentaries. Very proud of the BBC and cannot understand why some in the Conservative Party want to destroy it. Anyway.......

A few comments, with some added minor detail :-

Abbey Road At 30 - was broadcast on BBC R2 on 1999-10-02
Bigger Than Jesus - was originally broadcast on 2005-12-03 and repeated during the Beatles weekend on the date you gave
Pepper 30 - broadcast R2 24 June 1997 - this documentary, Pepper Forever presented by Paul Jones (ex Manfred Mann), is not to be confused with the two parter, Sgt Pepper Forever, from May 2017 presented by Martin Freeman.

On The Record is actually I believe the soundtrack of the BBC Two TV show from Sat 5 Sep 2009 at 20:35 and repeated a few times since on BBC Two and Four.

Thanks so much for posting these and if you have more, you know what to do.
