The Nation’s Favourite Beatles Number One -8pm ITV 11/11/15
-
This is on ITV, so it will probably be awful with a load of crappy celebrities commenting on Beatle songs and talking nonsense. I will try to watch the first 10 mins and hope they have tried to create a quality/well researched show as the Beatles deserve that. From ITV: The Nation?s Favourite Beatles Number One will tell the stories behind some of the greatest Beatles songs ever. With interviews from Beatles? insiders including musicians, friends, fellow performers and celebrity fans, we?ll hear about the stories behind the Fab Four?s best-loved hits. These are the stories behind the 27 songs that reached number one here and in the U.S ? from She Loves You to Let it Be ? as the show hears from the people who were there to witness in person the extraordinary rise and rise of The Beatles. Across 120 minutes, this prime-time celebration of the biggest and most influential band the world has ever seen uses archive from a number of sources, including rare and exclusive footage from the Beatles? company Apple Corps. http://www.itv.com/presscentre/press-releases/nations-favourite-beatles-number-one

It's actually quite extraordinary that all four members sang lead on at least one Number One. I can't think of any other group where that has happened.

I emailed ITV about getting this shown in the U.S. Here is their reply:
I emailed ITV and this is what they wrote back: Dear Nancy, Thank you for your enquiry regarding ITV services overseas. ITV is a UK broadcaster and the rights for many of our programmes dictate that they can be screened in the UK only. We do not have a licence to transmit our domestic family of ITV channels (ITV, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4, ITVBe, ITV Encore and CITV) outside the UK and we do not seek to promote these services elsewhere. The ITV channels on satellite are designed to reach all corners of the United Kingdom for domestic viewers watching via Sky and Freesat using a small satellite dish. The channels listed above are not aimed at other European countries or farther afield. As part of the satellite operator's on-going renewal programme, our domestic services have transferred to new satellites with a tighter beam. The satellite footprints have been designed to meet the requirements of broadcasters who distribute their channels in the UK and hold broadcasting rights for the UK but not for other countries. As a result of the transfer, viewers outside the UK may no longer be able to receive some channels via satellite. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. If you are outside the United Kingdom, you may be interested to know that ITV Essentials is a subscription based internet service which offers viewers in a number of countries the opportunity to watch some ITV programmes while abroad. There are further details, including a list of the countries where the service is available, here: https://itvessentials.com/ In addition, ITV Choice is available in over one hundred countries throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Further information is available here: http://itv-choice.com I hope the above information helps. If your region isn?t listed in the links above you may like to contact the local broadcasters in your area to let them know about the programmes you would like to see. May I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to contact ITV. If I can be of further assistance please do not hesitate to let me know. Kind regards, Umar ITV Viewer Services Officer
