Produced by George Martin was originally a 2011 episode in the BBC's Arena documentary series, before being released more widely in 2012. We look at whether its informal conversational interviews work as a documentary technique, how watching it in the light of Get Back is quite revealing given George's recollection of his contribution to those sessions, and what his conversations with Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney say about the relationships they had with him. Plus! Hear Matt talk about George's martini-making technique for longer than you were probably expecting.
NOTE: ironically given the subject matter, we had some audio recording issues on this one. Matt might sound a bit bassy for the first half or so. Giles Martin is in talks to remix it.
