This takes us into late '67, so it definitely covers a period of the Beatles that is more interesting to me. Also, I laughed out loud several times, at everything from Ringo praising George's song-writing skills and then asking, "Which of his songs was on Revolver?", to psychedelic-era John doing the Twist. With both parts (maybe not so much in Part Three I'm guessing, with the break-up and all), I remember that, despite all the drama, this was a four-sided bromance, and part of the charm and joy of the Beatles is that they enjoyed being together and they invited us to watch and listen. It's fitting that the episode ends with the "Real Love" video, mixing vintage and '95 footage. Again though, death is omitted, even as important a death as Brian Epstein's.
