From The BBC to celebrate The Beatles following announcement of ‘Now And Then’ (nme.com), October 26, 2023:
[…] To celebrate the forthcoming release […] the BBC has also announced that it will be showing a range of programmes dedicated to the rock veterans.
These include an extended edition of The One Show on BBC One, set to be shown next Wednesday (November 1). Shown between 7pm and 7:45pm, it will see BBC Radio 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne introducing and commenting on the exclusive UK TV broadcast of Now And Then – The Last Beatles Song – a poignant short film, written and directed by Oliver Murray, which tells the story behind the track.
Similarly, a new podcast series from BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds titled Eras: The Beatles will be broadcast to celebrate the release. Hosted by Martin Freeman, the show will take a look at how the band shaped the music of today, and reveal their history “as never before with extensive archive and in the band’s own words”.
For this, a recently unearthed interview with McCartney, Starr and George Harrison will be aired for the first time in nearly 60 years.
Episode one will introduce the members and follow the early days of their careers, while the second will see how they ventured across the pond and cracked America. Three and four will see how their lives began to become impacted by the pressures of fame, and five will see how the members navigated life after the band and formed their respective solo careers. The sixth and final episode will include a new interview with McCartney and Starr about the new track. […]
