How the Beatles stole the show on the world's first live TV broadcast in June 1967.

In June 1967, the Beatles were invited by the BBC to appear on the world's first live TV broadcast, called Our World. In a now iconic appearance, the band played a new song called All You Need Is Love, which captured the anti-war spirit of Swinging London. Simon Watts talks to Mike McCartney, performer with the Scaffold and brother of Paul McCartney.
