The Beatles Anthology: The Making Of, 1992-1995

After 25 year long & winding road of The Long & Winding Road documentary, The Beatles Anthology starts to become a real thing at the end of 1992. But there are mountains to climb, decisions to be made, egos to soothe... this long & winding road remains a bumpy one.

Live on tape from Dublin and Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.

First Released June 2020

The Road to Anthology 1968-1993

By the time The Beatles Anthology finally appeared in 1995, it had taken over 25 years to produce. To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2020, Nothing Is Real made three episodes looking at the acclaimed documentary.

In this episode Steven and Jason navigate the years from 1968, when the idea arose through to 1992 when the cameras started rolling.

S08 Bonus: The Beatles Last Tour NIR Live 2023 Part Two

When The Beatles landed for their North American tour in August 1966 only the innermost of inner circles knew that the last gig was nigh.

The Beatles First Tour (NIR Live 2023 Part One)

NIR went on tour in 2023, so it seems fitting to tell the story of The Beatles’ first and last tours. In the beginning there was Johnny Gentle,

a singing star with enough capital to play venues in the rural highlands of Scotland with the untested Beatles. What could possibly go right?
