The whole of the Beatles' amazing TV career is covered here, from their earliest appearances on Thank Your Lucky Stars! and Ready Steady Go! up to their live performance of "All You Need Is Love" in front of the biggest ever audience in television history—and beyond. The book is a telling record of the way in which the Fab Four swept away the media attitudes of an earlier era and replaced them with their own brand of humor, as well as their own brand of seriousness. It will be a must-have addition to the library of all Beatles enthusiasts.

I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
The Beatles on Television is a BOOK! *spits* I felt sure it was a video collection--despite the description (now that I read it) clearly saying "book".
Don't worry, my beating heart just went still. What a disappointment! Ah, well, I'll look it up and see if there's anything new there. Now I'm off to weep quietly into my coffee.
