44 Year Old Beatles Interview Found in Garage in South London

For 44 years a canister of film had been stored in a damp garage in South London; unopened, unloved and almost thrown away.
But, finally, somebody took a look inside - and realised they had unearthed a piece of pop history.

This is the story of a lost Beatles interview - which is to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday for the first time since it was originally recorded.
The nine-minute interview took place in the studios of Scottish Television on Thursday, 30 April, 1964.



It was thought to have been recorded on a tele-cine machine in London, and stored in a can, now rusted with the passing of decades.




Which makes it all the more remarkable that the fragile film has survived at all.

Amazing. This will probably prompt another Doctor Who search too...

Wow, first missing scenes of Metropolis and now this?

*crosses fingers for Doctor Who's Marco Polo and The Faceless Ones*

I really want to hear this interview. And what's up this week? Maybe they'll find Jimmy Hoffa next.

44 years? Hey, find me a fresh, NEW interview and I'll be impressed.

If that happens I'm pulling out my zombie killing bat from the closet.
