Rother Radio – Special Announcement Love Local, Love Music!

It Is In Us All actor Rhys Mannion will star as singer and guitarist John Lennon, Ellis Murphy will play bassist and singer Sir Paul McCartney and Harvey Brett will play singer and guitarist George Harrison.
Rivals actor Louis Landau will play the band’s original bassist Stu Sutcliffe, while original drummer Pete Best will be played by Patrick Gilmore.
Filming has begun in Hamburg, Liverpool and Munich on the six-part series, which will tell the story of the band’s early days in Germany and will follow their transformation from a group of teenagers into the world’s biggest band.
The series is based on the book of the same name by Beatles associates Klaus Voormann and Astrid Kirchherr.
Kirchherr will be played by Wild Republic actress Luna Jordan, while Voormann will be played by Casper Von Bulow, and Laura Tonke will play Kirchherr’s mother Nielsa.
Voormann, 87, who is also known for designing the cover for The Beatles’ 1966 album Revolver, will act as a consultant on the new series, which has been acquired by the BBC from UK-based independent film and television company Turbine Studios.
German musician Voormamn has a long-lasting working relationship with The Beatles, and played bass on many of their solo projects following their break-up in 1970.
Kirchherr died in 2020, having been remembered for the early pictures she took of The Beatles.
Director Christian Schwochow, who worked on Netflix’s hit series The Crown, is the showrunner of the series, and Bafta-winner David Holmes, who worked on Killing Eve and the Ocean’s franchise, will curate the music.
The series will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer with an air date yet to be announced.
