Saturday night on BBC2 and BBC HD 9.45pm. Magical Mystery Tour documentary followed by restored Magical Mystery Tour film. So is no one bothering then?!! I've heard Janice gets them out in the restored version!!! She did indeed!!! LOL! I didn't watch the film but the documentary was really good, even if it did seem to go off-topic on more than one occasion! Always seems that EMI/Apple shoot themselves in the foot every time by premiering the restored version of a film on the BBC the day before it's released on on DVD - they've done this with The First U.S Visit, AHDN and Help! Surely this cuts into sales? Whatever... The reason I didn't watch the film was because I was waiting for my MMT box set, which arrived in the post today! Woohoo! Warming up the blu-ray in about 10 minutes!

I watched the documentary and then promptly fell asleep during the film somewhere around Fool On The Hill!
Give us a full critique on the box set once you have watched it Al.

The actual package was well worth the money... or it was when I ordered it on Amazon for £29.99 (it's now £44!!) - it comes with the replica mono double EP with booklet, a 60 page book and the film on DVD and blu-ray plus extras! I ordered this on the train home from Liverpool!!

I watched the documentary and then promptly fell asleep during the film somewhere around Fool On The Hill! Probably had to many beers mrmustard. Really enjoyed the doc . Then watched movie never seen it all the way through before. I was disappointed with sound I'm sure the blu ray will sound twice as good.I like TheEnd & mrmustard was looking forward to the deluxe box set,especially with it comprising of vinyl EP.But have to say I probably won't bother because lets be honest the film is garbage apart from the songs of course. Yes it's Beatles history but you can't polish a turd.

Other than the music there are some funny moments in it. I think Ringo constantly arguing with his Aunty is funny. All adlibed too. You'd never know!

Of course mrmustard I agree & it was an Art house film with a running time 55min. It was fun & I'm not trying to compare it with Lawrence of Arabia. It's just over hyped which left me disappointed. It's only my honest opinion. Saying that the box set is going to be highly collectible .

I must be in a minority here as I've always loved the film - just watched it with the Macca commentary! this is the box set...

So glad you enjoyed it TheEnd.opinions are so subjective. Box set looks fab.As an avid Beatles collector it's gonna be hard to resist & me being a vinyl lover too. It's just that when you've waited all you life to see it & the movie doesn't live up to what you expected. It becomes hard to part with the cash £44. I think I'd rather put that money toward the new Vinyls

I like the film too. You just have to see it for what is; surrealistic comedy with great music. You can't compare it to anything as the moment you do it falls flat on it's arse. Hell, Scorcese likes it!

I really enjoyed the Documentry . I sat through the film and it`s not as painful as it used to be . Still a few cringe worthy moments though . Paul on the beach with the small person ( P.C) Like Ive said before , bargain box , before I buy .
