    Ringo’s very funny in that clip and is it just me or is Nancy getting younger??!
    Wish I’d been outside the studios on Monday to see them all arrive.

    Ringo seems a little bit out of it. I hope he’s doing ok.

    “We were blessed that we got a record deal because of George Martin … we were refused by many record labels.” You could be forgiven for thinking Ringo was in the band before they got a deal with George Martin.

    I hope members of The Hollies and Pink Floyd are interviewed for this film.
