Wow, Labelled with love is these guys? That's a brilliant tune.

Never really a big fan of Squeeze tbh, although 'This Summer' was an alright tune.

A perfect song for the summer season which was released in...September

It's a good idea for a compilation show, in most years you can fill an hour with good TOTP performances.

A nice bit of Bonnie to (nearly) end the show.

I heard them play 'This Summer' at one of our finest outdoor festivals a few years ago ... during an apocalyptic storm which looked like it might wash us all away.

Great craic. I really enjoyed it. One of the 'I didn't realise I knew so many of their songs' gigs.

That's weird I got one of those emails the other day from boards telling me Skid had put up tonights listing, but the post never showed on the thread. Strange.

Anyway, Epstein shows should be good.

Welsh Megaman · 04-04-2014 09:44PM

Epstein documentaries are a few years old now, but still interesting.

Made a pass at Pete Best IIRC, assuming he was gay.

Then did the noble thing and booted him out of the band!

As I thought, these 'Sounds Of The Sixties' programmes were first broadcast in the early 90's...still good though, rare performances.

It's like a BBC executive saw them on Yesterday, then thought "why don't we show them ourselves?"

Crackerjack! with our Eamon Andrews.

Welsh Megaman · 04-04-2014 10:53PM

The odds that a band nowadays could release a single called 'Little Children' and perform it on the BBC whilst showing images of little children are slim to none!!

A long overdue bio-pic is in preproduction

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-fifth-beatle-biopic-to-begin-filming-next-year-20131205

The Fifth Beatle, a biopic about the Fab Four's manager Brian Epstein, will begin shooting next year. Director Peyton Reed, whose credits include Yes Man, The Break-Up and Bring It On, will helm the film. The movie is based on Vivek J. Tiwary's graphic novel The Fifth Beatle, which came out last year. An Epstein movie with a screenplay by Tiwary has been rumored to be in production since 2006. The press release claims that The Fifth Beatle is the first-ever film about the Beatles to secure music rights to the Lennon-McCartney catalog and now that Reed has signed on, casting for Epstein's role will begin soon.
