Just logged on to post this but you beat me to it

It's a 6 part series but episode 6 will be along soon, according to the website. Good old BBC, always there when a new release or anniversary is in the offing.

This looks cool. Thanks for the heads up!

Elliot says: "I found this interview which was originally on a physical reel of tape which contained news clips whilst undertaking a project to digitise 30,000 quarter inch reels from the BBC archive. There’s often something surprising to be found in old archive material when you scratch the surface, but I never expected to find something of this quality – a complete Beatles interview by reporter Reg Abbiss. Initially I assumed it was a copy of an interview that was widely known, so when I checked and discovered it was unique and hadn’t been heard since its broadcast – almost 60 years ago – I was amazed. It’s extremely rare to unearth material this valuable in the archive. What makes it truly great is that it shows The Beatles on top form – playful and quick-witted – and captures them just before their first visit to America which would turn out to be a pivotal moment in their career. Who knows what I will find next!"

Great that they're doing this. Reminds me of 2009.
