I bet it has an interview with May Pang. This is an independent production I belive, no Yoko. If thats the case I also wish it wouldn't turn into (as so many Lennon docs do) tabloid television.

I've had my two penneth.

You weren't wrong. Cynthia and some of John's 'Brit' family were on there aswell. They were still pretty peeved at not being allowed to know where John's ashes may have been scattered.

Certainly anti-Yoko documentary.

What was odd about this this documentary is that they used REAL Beatle music!!! Apple are usually very tight over who they allow to use Beatle tracks so it was refreshing to hear!!!

I watched the first half hour and taped the rest - had to go to bed cos I have a cold and feel sh*tty!!!

Part of Macca's retaliation against Yoko? (Song rights/permission?) I'm sure he would welcome and promote John's blood family giving there true accounts of the situation instead of Yoko's ' self assumed 'artistic' aswell as self promoting recollections and interpretations.'

Hope you cold gets better soon Al...No kissing birds!!! lol

Not sure or forgotten about the status of permission...I'm sure Paul retains some say in some capacity.

I did not feel the anti-paul thing. There was the brief reference about John coming back when he heard that Macca had finally done something good in his solo career.

Mainly they  focused on the 'vulnerable' John. Interesting but nothing new. May was satisified that John really did love her and was interested in getting back together. lol....Selling more books perhaps?

You know what that documentary did throw up though? The question of wether John would have returned to Liverpool. An interesting thought. Maybe he was ready for a change again? Who will ever know. I sure ain't gonna take Yoko's word for it.
