Hamburg Days 

The BBC has acquired Hamburg Days, a forthcoming drama series recounting The Beatles’ early days as a band for BBC iPlayer and BBC One. 

Based on the autobiography by Klaus Voormann, who is also a consultant on the series, Hamburg Days is set in the early 1960s. In the smoke-filled clubs of Hamburg’s St. Pauli’s red-light district, an inexperienced young rock ‘n’ roll band from Liverpool collide with two young artists, Klaus Voormann and Astrid Kirchherr. Together they help spark a transformation that turns a scrappy group of teenagers into the greatest music phenomenon the world has ever known: The Beatles. 

Sue Deeks, Head of Scripted Pre-buy Acquisitions at the BBC, said: “Hamburg Days is the fascinating story of how, in the space of two short years, a raw young band from Liverpool honed their music skills in Hamburg, before returning home to become an overnight worldwide success. It is an incredible story, accompanied (of course) by an amazing soundtrack!”
