The landmark documentary series directed by Geoff Wonfor and Bob Smeaton has been restored and remastered 30 years after its UK broadcast including new audio mixes created by Giles Martin for most of the featured music. The original eight episodes trace the journey of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr from Liverpool to global superstardom. Stories about Beatlemania and the band's euphoric reception in America are interwoven with reflections on their pivotal role in 1960s counterculture. A new ninth episode goes behind the scenes of the series and captured Paul, George and Ringo working on The Anthology between 1994 and 1995 and reminiscing about their shared life
