In the first of an occasional series where we look at a particular year in the Beatles' story, we examine the year 1984 and what was happening in Beatlesworld. Paul released his flop movie Give My Regards To Broad Street, John's Milk and Honey was released posthumously, Ringo did some TV work and hosted SNL, and George made a guest appearance with another famous British group. Oh, and a Beatle son released his first and most successful album. We discuss what other music was like during that year, and why the Beatles were particularly adrift and lost in their creative careers.

We're back now, so stay tuned for more episodes soon!
