George Harrison: the reluctant Beatle

Prologue: an unextinguishable last laugh

Part one. "Take care of him because he's going to be special"

"He was so much in the background he was like the invisible man"

Playing just chords was better than not playing at all"

"From then on, nine-to-five never came back into my thinking"

"We were like orphans"

"My first shag was... with Paul and John and Pete Best all watching"

"The first rock 'n' dole group"

"It was the best buzz of all time"

Part two. "I was always rather beastly to George"

"I had to learn to think like a spy, leaving no trace"

"The only Beatle glare ever caught on camera"

"Well, that's it. I'm not a Beatle anymore"

"The meditation buzz"

"Please don't think I've gone off my rocket"

"Don't upset the Hell's Angels"

"He wanted so much to be a spiritual being"

"That was minxy of George. He could be very minxy"

"Beatle George's new pad

turrets and all"

Part three. "Garbo speaks

Harrison is free"

"I suppose he is still a person of considerable means"

"I have to tell you, man, I'm in love with your wife"

"By the grace of Krishna, you are one of the great men"

"If people want their money back, they can have it"

"Introducing George Harrison"

"Maybe he thought God would just sort of let him off"

"He was looking at potential debts of around €32 million"

"Do you want to go on a yacht to the South Pacific and run away for ever?"

"I'm being murdered in my own house"

Epilogue: Plaudit from a prince.
