Ringo Starr at the 蘑菇短视频

A look back at the life and times of Ringo Starr as he celebrates his birthday in July. In conversation with Alan Freeman, Brian Matthew, Derek Taylor and Paul Gambaccini.

A look back at the life and times of Ringo Starr, originally broadcast to mark his 85th birthday, last year. In conversation with Alan Freeman, Brian Matthew, Beatles press officer Derek Taylor, Paul Gambaccini and John Wilson.

Featuring performances from The Beatles鈥� early Light Programme broadcasts and a wide range of conversations from the 蘑菇短视频 Archive. Ringo recalls his Liverpool childhood, discovering drumming, coping with superstardom, being a Beatle and an ex-Beatle, his acting career and emergence as a solo star in the 1970's before becoming one of the rock world's elder statesmen.

Throughout this incredible journey - which has taken him all the way from Liverpool's Madryn Street to receiving a knighthood at Buckingham Palace, Sir Richard Starkey has retained his dry sense of humour and a sense of amazement at a life spent in the spotlight.
