Brian Epstein

Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles, discusses his career in the 成人快手 成人快手 Service's interview series. From 1964.

Brian Epstein, 29 year old manager of the Beatles talks about his life to Bill Grundy.

He was a quiet, well-spoken public schoolboy, RADA student, from a very comfortably-off Liverpool family.

But knowing nothing of the world of pop - how did Epstein find himself in the world of agents and impresarios?

As well as the Beatles, he represented other artistes including Cilla Black.

Brian Epstein tragically died in 1967 aged 32 - the result of an alcohol and barbiturate overdose.

Launched in 1952, Frankly Speaking was a completely novel and ground breaking 成人快手 series. Initially there were three interviewers and the series was both unrehearsed and unscripted.

First broadcast on the 成人快手 成人快手 Service in May 1964.

*** Broadcast as part of 4 Extra's Fab 4 season marking the 60th anniversary of the Beatles first universal chart number 1, From Me To You, in May 1963.
