317. Peter Howitt on The Beatles 'Abbey Road' (1969)

<p>Writer/director <strong>Peter Howitt</strong> (Sliding Doors, Johnny English, Dangerous Parking) joins me for a good old fashioned Beatles deep dive. We talk about <em data-stringify-type= "italic">Abbey Road, </em>discovering the records as they came out, why the fascination has endured for over 50 years, <strong>Lennon</strong> and <strong>McCartney</strong>’s own ‘sliding doors’ moment, <strong>George Harrison</strong>’s post-Beatles songwriting trajectory, the <strong>Giles Martin</strong> remixes, what John Lennon’s music would have been liked if he had lived and much more.<br /> Plus, Peter tells me the story of acting with Paul and <strong>Linda McCartney</strong> on the classic British sitcom ‘Bread’ in 1988.</p>
