The Brian Epstein Story

Originally released in two parts in the BBC's Arena strand (as The Sun Will Shine Tomorrow and Tomorrow Never Knows on Christmas and Boxing Day 1998), The Brian Epstein Story was later re-edited and has aired twice on BBC4 with this title. The version we're discussing is this single edited version, which you can see on YouTube with some sound missing for copyright reasons at https://youtu.be/apKqMVej1cw.Do its techniques do Brian justice? We also discuss how the nineties was a sort of golden age for Beatle insiders contributing to documentaries, and how this brought with it a tendency for people to place themselves at the centre of the story. Plus: why is Paul McCartney so coy about the Brian Epstein/John Lennon affair rumours, given that in later years he dismissed them?Meet the Beatles Films PodcastThe Beatles Films Podcast is hosted by Matt Looker and Ed Williamson.
