BBC Radio has always been a force for delivering good Beatles content, and they produce very good radio documentaries. This practise continues today as evidenced by their latest 40th anniversary documentary on "Let It Be". And it was "Let It Be" who started it all. Let's take a look at all the Beatles related documentaries produced by the BBC over the years since The Beatles broke up. Most of these have been shared by tape traders, later burned CD traders and as of late, file traders over the years.
