317. Peter Howitt on The Beatles 'Abbey Road' (1969)

Writer/director Peter Howitt (Sliding Doors, Johnny English, Dangerous Parking) joins me for a good old fashioned Beatles deep dive. We talk about Abbey Road, discovering the records as they came out, why the fascination has endured for over 50 years, Lennon and McCartney's own 'sliding doors' moment, George Harrison's post-Beatles songwriting trajectory, the Giles Martin remixes, what John Lennon's music would have been liked if he had lived and much more. Plus, Peter tells me the story of acting with Paul and Linda McCartney on the classic British sitcom 'Bread' in 1988.
