One of my favourite episodes to research! Join me this week on a wild goose chase to find the dubious origins of an alleged quote about Sgt Pepper by critic Kenneth Tynan. Thank you to @jonathanknott.bsky.social for the topic suggestion!

Subject: RE: New Beatle Project Script recap
Hi Guys Thanks for all the work on the early outline. Title wise, YES-TIE-DAY? Bit shit? KNOT GUILTY?? To recap, ‘60s Liverpool, young George Harrison (TIMOTHEE CHALOMET???) despairs of his life as an apprentice rock guitarist. Pursues his dream of fashion design. The world is hit by a blackout, and George is hit by a bus. He wakes to find all the ties have disappeared and NO ONE REMEMBERS THEM. Taking advantage of his knowledge, George “invents” the tie, and his hailed as a fashion genius across the globe. The ties get better and better, increasingly experimental but success proves hollow as he realises the thing that really matters to him is his girlfriend Patti. Older, wiser, George opts for the simple life of a rock guitarist and film mogul. Big question: Do you think we can get the rights to the ties?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:erjquqznvcj6cqon2mbnqj2m/bafkreidsiqoeklijbybn5aobmiktu2vucrjbwwofqlegtwagxurjck7hfe)
