Rent In the Footsteps of the Beatles (2013)

This wide-ranging 2008 programme visits locations up, down and on both sides of the river Mersey where the Beatles honed their talents. The destinations include localities as varied as Bootle, the industrial town to the North of Liverpool, and New Brighton, the fairground paradise of the Liverpudlian. Along the way, we take our own journey on a ferry across the Mersey, the river whose merchant seamen literally smuggled rock 'n' roll into the UK in the form of vinyl LPs. Last but not least, we meet a wide range of Liverpudlians, the people whose warmth and dry wit were shared by the group, and were an integral part of their launch into superstardom.
