John Updike compared them to 'the sun coming out on an Easter morning'. Bob Dylan introduced them to drugs. The Duchess of Windsor adored them, Noel Coward despised them, and successive Prime Ministers have sucked up to them. One fact is common amongst us all: no one has remained unaffected by the music of The Beatles. Tracing the chance fusion of elements that made the band, 'One Two Three Four' also tells the bizarre and often unfortunate tales of the disparate and colourful people within their orbit, among them Fred Lennon, Yoko Ono, the Maharishi, Aunt Mimi, Helen Shapiro, the con artist Magic Alex, Phil Spector, their psychedelic dentist John Riley and their failed nemesis, Det Sgt Norman Pilcher.
