BRILLIANCE EVEN AS BEATLES BREAK
This documentary concludes with a thrilling eight song roof-top musical performance that has now become iconic. It’s the first time it’s been shown in its entirety and is The Beatles last live performance as a group. For anyone who loves the band, it’ll likely be something you’ll watch over and over again.

EH UP VERA, THE WIFE´S BACK
They are all over Lanzarote: When we first came to live here, five years ago now, they somehow seemed to be telling us not to come too close, as they stood in spiky clusters by the roadside.
