ABSTRACT

On 25 June 1967, the Beatles performed a new song, ‘All You Need is Love’, before an intimate yet immense audience, one numbering approximately 350 million people – an audience composed of dozens of invited celebrities and guests sitting around the band in a London BBC studio and the millions upon millions of TV viewers watching from sites around the world. The performance was part of the BBC show Our World, considered by some to have been the first global television program.
