A Midlands actor is about to take on the role of John Lennon in a forthcoming BBC series about the fab four.
Athlone's Rhys Mannion will play the man who penned Help, A Hard Day's Night, and Come Together.
The six-part drama called 'Hamburg Days' is set in the 1960s in Germany, where the Liverpool band collide with two young artists who help them on their way to becoming The Beatles.
