Paul Merton becomes The Beatles as Sgt Pepper turns 50
23rd May 2017
Paul Merton discusses his forthcoming Beatles documentary in today's Radio Times as the BBC marks 50 years of Sgt Pepper.
The four-part Radio 2 series, which begins on Monday 29 May at 10pm, is Paul's attempt to answer the 'what ifs' about his favourite band and to put forward a fantastical version of Beatle history.
Using facts and recordings, he imagines the concert that the Beatles could have given, and follows it up with the album that they could have made.
He said: "I’ve had great fun selecting tracks from John, Paul, George and Ringo’s solo careers to firstly create a magical live ‘Beatles’ concert, and secondly a new ‘Beatles’ double album.
"I am immensely looking forward to sharing my choices with the Radio 2 listeners."
