I have recently been in Russia beginning research for a film I am planning with the working title “How the Beatles rocked the Kremlin"

It may sound like hippy hype, but as I found, serious people insist that the Fab 4 played an important part in the collapse of  Communism.

One of my earliest jobs back in 1962 was a 2 minute item shot in Liverpool’s Cavern Club with an unrecorded group of rockers, which became the first film with the Beatles.

I’ve always been fascinated by the story of how the moptops conquered the world. And since I’ve made a series of documentaries in the former Evil Empire over the past 30 years, I have a special taste for this film.
