What would life be like if the Beatles had never existed? That’s the intriguing premise of this romcom collaboration between Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle. Hapless singer-songwriter Jack awakes after a deliciously implausible cosmic blackout to find that cultural history has reset itself and he’s suddenly the only person on Earth who still remembers ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and, yes, ‘Yesterday’. Will he achieve the fame he seeks by “borrowing” the Lennon/McCartney songbook — and will adoring Ellie still want to hold his hand?

“A glowing tribute to The Beatles and their music, this is both a toe-tapping pleasure to watch and a smart, occasionally scathing look at how we get things wrong” – Helen O’Hara, Empire
The programme will also include our current BRIT School Showcase film A FILTHY HABIT (12A, 4 mins), directed by Mykea Perry. This drama features a police officer’s first day on the job.
