Musician brothers Paul and Garry Abbott discuss and rank their favourite Beatles and 60s records. The first three seasons covered everything Beatles, including the core catalogue, the movies and extras, and even the 70s solo singles. In season 4 they looked at the wider musical landscape by ranking all the UK 60s Number 1s, and continue to do this in Series 5 with the US Number 1s.
