  • Magical Mystery Tour Revisited on THIRTEEN’S Great Performances Friday, December 14 at 9 P.M
    Press Contact: Harry Forbes, WNET 212-560-8027 or [email protected] Press materials: www.thirteen.org/pressroom/gperf Magical Mystery Tour Revisited on THIRTEEN’s Great Performances Friday, December 14 at 9 p.m. on PBS The story behind the controversial and surreal Beatles film features new interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr Songs you’ll never forget, the film you’ve never seen and a story that’s never been told. In August 1967, in the wake of the extraordinary impact of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band , The Beatles made a film. It was seen in the U.K. by a huge audience, at 8.35 p.m. on BBC One on Britain’s Boxing Day…and all hell broke loose. The story behind that film – Magical Mystery Tour – is revealed on Magical Mystery Tour Revisited on THIRTEEN’S Great Performances , Friday, December 14 at 9 p.m. on PBS. (Check local listings.) Magical Mystery Tour was chock-full of thinly veiled references to psychedelia, anarchy and fantasy, all in the setting of a traditional British sightseeing bus outing to the seaside. This was a far cry from the innocent loveable mop-top japery of Help! and A Hard Day’s Night . Middle Britain had tuned in but was a long way from turning on and dropping out – the nation was baffled and outraged by the film’s unexpected and uncompromising surreal, non- linear narrative. Paul McCartney appeared on The Frost Programme on rival ITV the day after transmission. He was called upon to account for himself and the rest of the group.

  • Read the Full Extract
    Downloaded from simongarfield.com © Simon Garfield 2005 John Peel Unplugged John Peel died suddenly on holiday in Peru at the age of 65. These are a few of the things he had to say. Six years ago I conducted a series of interviews with John Peel at Radio 1 and in the wine bar nearby. It wasn’t difficult work: I turned on the tape-recorder and sat back, and after ten minutes of mild suspicion and Rioja he hit a groove of sad and funny stories that brought tears to his eyes and mine, and all I could do was hope the batteries were fresh. My memory of him is of a hugely sensitive man who cared very much about his music and his family, but also about how he was regarded by others. A magazine interview he had given some months before had been very harsh on him, questioning whether he genuinely liked most of the records he played, and Peel had been terribly hurt by it. Looking back, it is significant how often in our conversations he considered his standing among his peers, and how much he relished his reputation as a pariah within the corporation. This was a role he found useful to foster, but in truth he was a shy and quiet man, prone to internalising his anger. And he was immensely loyal; he knew that he could only function in public service broadcasting, and in time he became its best advertisement. I had first met him eighteen years earlier when he provided the narration for a radio documentary I had written.

  • BBC Radio in the Digital Era (1982 - ) Professor Jeremy Summerly
    BBC Radio in the Digital Era (1982 - ) Professor Jeremy Summerly 15 April 2021 On Hallowe’en in 1981, Paul Vaughan became the presenter of Radio 3’s Record Review. Vaughan took over from John Lade (the programme’s founder-presenter) who had presented exactly 1,000 editions of the programme. Lade had led his listeners from 78s to LPs and Vaughan ushered in the CD era. Since its very first episode in 1957, ‘Building a Library’ has been at the heart of Record Review (re-named CD Review from 1998 until 2015). For most of its history ‘Building a Library’ has been a pre-recorded monologue punctuated by comparative musical examples, but on 22 March 2014 it was broadcast as a two-way live interview with presenter Andrew McGregor from a pop-up studio in London’s Southbank Centre. Thus, I was the first contributor to deliver ‘Building a Library’ live (having worked as a freelance contributor to the programme since 1992). On that spring morning in 2014, I chose Trevor Pinnock’s 1993 recording of Mozart’s Coronation Mass over the 1971 version by the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Colin Davis. A group of dedicated CD Review listeners had congregated around the BBC pod to witness the live broadcast of the programme, and during the course of the segment they started to react to my analytical observations with muted applause and/or good-natured hisses of disapproval. That direct contact with the CD Review audience was a wonderful experience, albeit a predictably confirmatory one: Radio 3’s audience has an average age of around 60 years old, and that was borne out that morning in the Royal Festival Hall foyer.

  • Classic Radio 1 Schedules (1967-2004)
    Frequency Finder UK (www.frequencyfinder.org.uk) Classic Radio 1 Schedules (1967-2004) October 1967 In the early years, Radio 1 was very different. It was originally conceived as a general popular music network, broadcasting easy listening, jazz, folk and country as well as pop and rock music. The intention was that it would opt out of the Light Programme with music when the Light was carrying a speech programme. This was largely the pattern in the first few years, with a lot of sharing between Radios 1 and 2, though the two stations did carry separate music programmes at breakfast and late afternoon. The daytime schedules didn't fully separate until the 1970s. Another feature of the early schedule is that many programmes featured different presenters on different days or in different weeks. A lot of the presenters floated between several shows. Saturday Monday to Friday 05:30 As Radio 2 05:30 As Radio 2 07:00 Tony Blackburn 07:00 Tony Blackburn 08:30 Junior Choice with Leslie Crowther (also on R2) 08:30 Family Choice with a guest presenter (also on R2) 10:00 Saturday Club with Keith Skues 10:00 Jimmy Young (also on R2 until 11:00) 12:00 Emperor Rosko 12:00 Midday Spin with Simon Dee (Mon), Duncan 13:00 Jack Jackson (also on R2) Johnson (Tue), Kenny Everett (Wed), David Rider 14:00 Chris Denning (also on R2) (Thur) and Stuart Henry (Fri) (also on R2) 15:00 Pete Murray (also on R2) 13:00 (Mon) Dave Cash - Live Music 16:00 Pete Brady (also on R2) 13:00 (Tue) Keith Fordyce - Live Music 17:30 Country Meets Folk with Wally Whyton (also on 13:00 (Wed) Bob Miller and The Millermen with R2) Parade of the Pops - Live orchestral pop 18:30 Scene and Heard - magazine with Johnny Moran 13:00 (Thur) Pop North with the Northern Dance 19:30 As Radio 2 Orchestra 22:00 Pete Murray (easy listening, also on R2) 13:00 (Fri) The Joe Loss Show - Live orchestral pop 00:00-02:00 Night Ride with Sean Kelly (easy listening, 14:00 Pete Brady (also on R2 15:00-16:15) also on R2) 16:30 What's New 17:30 David Symonds Sunday 19:30 As Radio 2 except..
