The story is very well told throughout, but what I found most amazing is the enormous amount of archival footage in the form of home movies, which allows you to see every stage in real time, without the need of re-enactments. Every moment was filmed, and the feeling is that you were there the whole time.

The people who made this did some good research. I've seen most of the documentaries released, bootleg video, read many books, and here I came across with some unseen film clips and interviews.

The "then and now" edits are well made and give great context to what is being shown.

As I suppose like quite a few others, I came to this looking for the very seeds of the White Album, and was a bit disappointed to find not enough of that. And what was told was not very revealing for someone who has delved into the subject as thoroughly as I have.

Not everything is interesting, that's why I gave it an 8, but the good parts are really good, and there are many of them.

This series is excellent, but I found this episode particularly good. The characters and the actors who play them are fantastic. It has the right measure of humour, without trying too hard. Three guys who can equally look forward to a couple of pints, getting to know a gorgeous woman, or seeing a Shakespeare play. It's easy, and also wrong and silly, to dismiss it today (2022) as dated, slow-paced etc. But judged in context, especially if you lived those years, it's superb.
