The earth is moving fast beneath their speeding boots and within months they take the ascendancy in the British pop world. Episode 2 takes a look at the early interviews and fame; their first album; early colour footage; full-length versions of Twist and Shout, It Wont be Long, She Loves You; The Beatles move to London; TV appearances; studio out-takes; I Saw Her Standing There & Long Tall Sally live and complete; the Royal Variety Show; From Me To You, & ‘Til There Was You, live, complete; John’s ‘rattle your jewelry’ comment, Twist And Shout, live, complete; Second album, With The Beatles; including complete versions of Please Mr. Postman, Roll Over Beethoven & I Want To Hold Your Hand and, as if in a dream - while they’re conquering Paris - the record goes to number one in America three weeks before the Ed Sullivan Show in New York. Priceless footage in this episode, never seen before.
