John Lennon A Journey In The Life -1985

Ever since The Beatles first burst into the public's consciousness in 1962, there has been an enduring interest in John, Paul, George and Ringo thanks to the the manner in which they redefined modern culture and conveyed a sense of togetherness to millions. John Lennon, as anyone who's ever listened to a note of music knows, departed the stage far earlier than anyone would wish, but his legacy lives on as the finest encore imaginable. John Lennon: A Journey in the Life may not add anything new to Lennon's legend, but it maintains the absorbing appeal of the man and is a must watch for any fan.
A Journey in the Life aired on BBC1 at 9.25pm on 6th December 1985 to mark the 5 year anniversary of his tragic murder by Mark Chapman. Part of the long running BBC documentary series Everyman, A Journey in the Life was directed by Ken Howard who himself was no stranger to the world of music having co-written many songs for Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch. Oh, and he also co-wrote a song for that little known singer called Elvis Presley.
