About the Director

Alan G Parker started out his career in the music industry at the age of 20, following a few years as a band manager/promoter in a remote part of Lancashire! He moved to London in 1985 where over a period of almost 20 years he was, at one time or another, a press officer, a writer (18 books published to date) and the project co-ordinator in back catalogue at EMI Records, working with artists like; Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks, The Stranglers, Sex Pistols, Slade, The Ramones, Blondie, Big Country, The Alarm, The Who, Whitesnake, UFO, The Mighty Wah!, Spear of Destiny/Theatre of Hate, Terrorvision, The Almighty, Monty Python, The Carry On Team, UFO, Saxon, Whitesnake & The Jam. Parker directed his first feature length documentary Never Mind the Sex Pistols for 2 Entertain/BBC 3 in 2005. Since then his critically acclaimed and hugely successful Who Killed Nancy (Soda Pictures) saw him carry off the BBC Radio 6 best new Director of 2009. Rebel Truce: The Story of The Clash (Eagle Entertainment) was named best documentary of 2007 by Time Out magazine. While his next cinema release Monty Python: Almost the Truth (Eagle Rock Entertainment/IFC) saw him nominated Stateside for an Emmy. Hello Quo: The Official Status Quo Story was his third film for the big screen and opened in the UK in October 2012. He is one half of the company A Geezer & A Blonde Productions London Ltd, along with Producer Alexa Morris.

Geez, no U.S. version as of yet?

FYI, there's another Sgt. Pepper film that's going to be on PBS June 3, "Sgt. Pepper's Musical Revolution."

Thanks Rockin Robin.

Warning!

See review below:

Sadly, this movie has a fatal flaw, in that there is *no Beatles music* actually in the documentary. I guess this is why any unauthorised film like this can never work if it's trying to be a music documentary - you have to be able to hear the music that's the subject of the film. There are some interesting interviews with people connected with the Beatles, but also no interviews with the surviving Beatles talking themselves I think has to be a deal breaker.

They spend several minutes discussing the album's iconic cover image, but they don't have the rights to use the image, so you can't actually see the artwork being talked about!
