There's alot of interesting stories in the lives of the Beatles and thier families, friends and lovers. I thought it would be interesting to see thier lives played out in a TV series from childhood to recent years, it would cover thier childhood, when they met thier rise to fame the "divorce" even the solo years, and the lives of all their aquaintences like Brian Epstien, George Martin, Mal Evans, Derek Taylor, Klaus Voorman, Neil Aspinal, etc, and the wives and exwives and the kids. Id love to see all that played out in a drama series. I have a feeling it would be a hit.

Yeah that's a way cool idea.

I would watch to see how John's father was portrayed.  I don't believe his side of the story is told very often or well-balanced.

How would the scene go down where Cyn came home to find Yoko and John in robes in the kitchen?

Oh so many scenarios.

Lennon Naked(BBC) had quite a lot of DAD stuff in it...I'd like to see that explored more too. :)

Yeah, love her too  kiss but she's about 25 years too old now. Just right for me though. crazy

Sienna Miller would be good for Jane...or Patti ...yeah, maybe Patti instead.

Jane could play herself....dang, she looks amazing still.

How about our own Lampie for Linda....she probably knows all the conversations by heart anyway  wink

Ha! Lisa Kudrow as Cynthia!  Too good!

Johnny Depp as Brian.

Chris Farely would have made a good Alan Williams!

2/3, try these, as Jane waits for Paul to come home from one of his 'clubbing' nights.

Derek, try Peter Asher for Derek Taylor.
