Jem Roberts - ’Fab Fools’

I'm joined by Jem Roberts to discuss his wonderful new book 'Fab Fools' - the first book to properly discuss The Beatles and comedy. Jem discovers how John, Paul, George and Ringo laughed their way to the top through their films, cartoons and even pantomimes. 

No discussion of The Beatles and comedy would be complete without discussing The Rutles - and Jem documents how Eric Idle and Neil Innes created the most influential rock n roll spoof in history.
