This week marks what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday. To commemorate the occasion is this moving documentary charting his final interview in December 1980, with BBC Radio 1 DJ Andy Peebles, before he was murdered only 48 hours later. Having not spoken to the media for five years previously, Lennon opens up on the breakup of the Beatles, his fraught relationship with the US government and his poignant plans for the future.
