It's fascinating for a few reasons. We talk about Ringo's alcoholism (he went into rehab later that year), and how George gently prevents his drunk friend from going too far. Plus some discussion of the When We Was Fab video, which George was there to promote. Was Paul McCartney in the walrus costume? And did Michael Aspel found the Traveling Wilburys?</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Watch the interview: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/-vrRfORrcYM\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/-vrRfORrcYM</a></li><li>Thelma Barlow, the Coronation Street actor also interviewed in the episode: <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelma_Barlow\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelma_Barlow</a>&nbsp;</li><li>Terry Wogan interviewing English footballer Paul \"Gazza\" Gascoigne in 1990: \"The dream could turn out to be a nightmare\" <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcGvSKRQ5KY\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcGvSKRQ5KY</a></li><li>George's When We Was Fab video: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/AVu6nPTVbBQ\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/AVu6nPTVbBQ</a></li><li>Oliver Reed drunk on Aspel and Company: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/EZMXIxIQmPw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/EZMXIxIQmPw</a></li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Meet the Beatles Films Podcast</h2><p><br></p><p>The Beatles Films Podcast is hosted by Matt Looker and Ed Williamson.
