I also stated that my idea would to ask people of all ages as to the historical musical significance of the Beatles and show each age groups reactions to them and if their reputation still holds up in modern times.
In terms of interviewees, I felt that we would need a music expert or music historian to tell us of their informed knowledge of how music was back in the 1960s and how The Beatles in particular helped to shape the music industry. This way we would have a well-informed professional source to compare his information to the word of other interviewees from different age groups.
Another barrier that needed to be addressed is what kind of form the news show would take. I feel that the news show should take the form of a specialist Music News Network which we can create which supposedly focuses on the music industry, both older and modern, while also celebrating musical events of the past. The name of this News Network is still pending. However, to make this more localized, this should be focused more around the activities that take place in Kent.
The interviews themselves should be part of the live segment of the show where we could indeed interview the aforementioned interviewees at either a professional music setting, such as perhaps in a specialist music shop (or even a record shop if one can be found), or even have the interview take place around the RAF base in West Malling (if filming would be allowed around there) to further illustrate the local aspect with the physical location being on screen.
The Beatles: John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison spent about a week from 19th September 1967 at the RAF base in West Malling filming music videos for songs from their album, 'The Magical Mystery Tour'. These songs included 'I Am The Walrus' and segments from 'Your Mother Should Know' (Not to be confused with the similarly named ABBA song).
As well as filming at the RAF base, The Beatles also spent some time filming in the town of West Malling itself. This would also give us an opportunity of a possible interview location if we are unable to film at the other suggested areas.
'The Magical Mystery Tour' film which included the footage film in West Malling was released on the 26th December 1967, just over three months after the filming at the base. the filming was met with mixed to negative critical reviews. However, the accompanying soundtrack which included the songs featured in these videos was met with critical and commercial success when it was released beforehand on the 8th December 1967 in the UK.
Here is a link to a segment for the aforementioned video of 'I Am The Walrus' (Unfortunately the full video is not available on YouTube) :
