The Nation's Favourite Beatles Number One

Pete Best died when young.

Are you sure? Are you thinking of Stuart Sutcliffe?
Pete Best ended up working in a local jobcentre for many years.
Talk about lost opportunity! I think there was an element if jealousy as he was hugely popular - the girls all shouted for him and was incredibly handsome. There was an outcry when he was sacked just as the Beatles were about to make their name. Tragic.

I have just watched the programme on catch up. I really enjoyed it. Lovely to relive the wonders of the Beatles, especially George. Hey Jude seems a fitting close to the music. So many classic songs.

Thanks for reminder, got it on catch up. I like Norwegian Wood.

You could be right mrsmopp my memory isn't what it used to be!

I remember a music critic picking some of the Beatles' songs apart, around the time Strawberry Fields came out, and explaining how very complex they were. It was way beyond my music theory and probably beyond theirs as well

Mine too! I forget what I did yesterday but long term memory much clearer.
Beatles are as fresh in my memory as ever, as I'm from Liverpool so it was a big part of my life.

Watched yesterday. Weren't they great ! Brought tears to my eyes for my own youth and the wonderful music the Beatles brought us.

Yeah! yeah! Yeah! A nice trip down Memory Lane, wasn't it?

Wonderful......the music hasn't aged for me.

Grannylyn65 I love Norwegian Wood too.
