Writer and broadcaster Samira Ahmed joins Tyler this week to talk about her new book on A Hard Day’s Night and its roots in the world of the Goons, from the Fred shows to The Running, Jumping & Standing Still Film.

Also:

Richard Lester’s creative vision and Alun Owen’s pitch-perfect script
Why Beatlemania was distinctly black and white and how the film mirrors this
Wilfrid Brambell – and why the film wouldn't be the same without him.
Ringo and David Janson
Favourite scenes: from the ad agency to John & Millie
Deleted scenes
The women of A Hard Day's Night and why the film avoided stereotypes that would later creep into Help!
Recasting ideas
Ringo’s odd line delivery
The disposable TV culture at the time
Those intriguing unmade Beatles films
And… was Paul Rodney Bewes to John’s Tom Courtenay?

A celebration of a film that's every bit as fresh, funny and ground-breaking today as it was in 1964.
