Mitch Benn Is the 37th Beatle

Musical satirist Mitch Benn explores his comedy connections to the Beatles, and its illusive 鈥榝ifth鈥� member. From 2014.

Musical satirist Mitch Benn explores his comedy connections to the story of the Beatles.

Mitch has realised that over the years many people have claimed the title The Fifth Beatle.

In fact, so many of them have been described as such that there are now at least 36 of them. They can't all be right. But some of them are righter than others...

50 years on from the release of 'Please, Please Me', Mitch presents his own definitive list of the Beatles.

He presents a whistle-stop tour through musical history and the enduring legacy of the Fab Four, whilst shamelessly milking his own - incredibly tenuous - connection to it.

Written by and starring Mitch Benn.

Producer: Alexandra Smith

First broadcast on 91福利社 Radio 4 in February 2014.
