Episode 6: Meet the Beatles (Downunder)

Episode 6: Meet the Beatles (Downunder)

Frank and Gaz explore the people downunder that came within the Beatles' orbit during the 1964 tour. They re-interview the Hon. Bob Katter MP - a longstanding member of Australia's parliament - who, as a student, threw eggs at the Beatles on arrival and met them afterwards. They discuss the fascinating life of the head of security detail on the tour, Devon Minchin. They consider the impressive career of music promoter Betty Stewart - one of the first women to head a business in Australia. And they consider Australian culture and society through the viewpoint of a travelling Nigerian journalist who engaged the Beatles on issues like the white Australia policy. It's an eclectic mix of issues like gender, race, conservatism, and the cultural cringe.
