Michael Palin presents the story behind the making of The Beatles’ second feature film Help!. The fact that every generation falls under the spell of The Beatles is, of course, down to the brilliance of their music. But it is also due to the power of their personalities and their irreverent attitude. The two movies they made in 1964 and 1965 played an important role in projecting their image. Following the success of A Hard Day’s Night, once more Richard Lester directed the group’s next film with a bigger budget that took The Beatles to exotic locations in the Bahamas and Austria. The programme features the memories of Richard Lester, actors Eleanor Bron and Victor Spinetti, the group’s road manager at the time Neil Aspinall, and costume designer Julie Harris. It is illustrated with clips from Help! and the songs from the film, including ‘You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away’, ‘Another Girl’ and ‘Ticket To Ride’.
