The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour (1): Magical Mystery Tour Revisited

Arena presents the greatest Beatles story never told - the making of 'Magical Mystery Tour', full of fabulous Beatles archive material never shown before anywhere in the world. Songs you will never forget, the film you have never seen and a story that has never been heard. In 1967, in the wake of the extraordinary impact of 'Sgt. Pepper', The Beatles made a film. It was seen by a third of the nation, at 8.35pm on BBC1 on Boxing Day - however, 'Magical Mystery Tour' was greeted with outrage and derision by middle England and the establishment media. What propelled The Beatles to make this surreal, startling and - at the time - utterly misunderstood film? Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour!
