Ernie sutton brings us this review:

When you think you have seen everything, a small gem pops out and surprises you.

This 85 minute DVD is completely taken from the archives of ITN (Independent Television News) in the UK and covers the period 1963-1970.

Yes there are clips here we have seen before, notably in the Anthology, but there are some interviews I have not seen before or not seen in some time. Sadly there is no Beatles music here, but that doesn't detract from some great interview highlights.

Starting in 1963 at the Manchester studios we see the entire interview featuring The Beatles and Ken Dodd.

A colour film of The Beatles Come to Town follows, showing them both on and off stage.

Heavily featured is John's "Bigger Than Jesus" quote from 1966.

Highlights for me include an interview with Ringo, the day after his and Maureen's second child was born and the entire David Frost interview with John & Yoko from 1969.

There is also colour footage from India 1968, and the DVD closes with an interview with Allen Klein, talking about Paul's position within Apple at the time.

There are also other great interviews but you should watch the DVD to find out more!

All in all a DVD worth adding to your collection, even though we have seen some of these interviews before, but there is enough material on here not on other recent DVDs to keep Beatles fans happy.
