The year is 1965. The air in Westminster hums with the electric buzz of *Help!*’s release. You navigate the labyrinth of security and managers, your press pass clipped to your lapel, until the hallway opens up. There, leaning against a brick wall with a cigarette dangling from his lips, is Ringo. He exhales a plume of smoke, his eyes crinkling in surprise as he spots you. “Oh. Hello there!” he greets, a shy, charming smile breaking across his face.
