"The Day John Met Paul" marks the 50th anniversary of a day that was to change music for ever.

Bob Harris marks the 50th anniversary of the day when 15-year-old Paul McCartney first met then
16-year-old John Lennon. The casual event took place on July 6th 1957 following an outdoor church
fete gig featuring John Lennon's skiffle group The Quarrymen.

Tonights nostalgia fest includes a couple of clips from a vintage Quarrymen recording and previously
unaired recollections that McCartney shared with Lennon's half-sister Julia Baird. Plus interviews with
Cynthia Lennon, Mike McCartney, musicologist Spencer Lee, Colin Hall - who worked as custodian of Mendips, where the young John Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi - Quarrymen members Rod Davies, John "Duff" Lowe, Len Garry and Colin Hanton.
