“I suppose I’m biased, given my family are from Liverpool, but I do think it’s a special city. Quite different to anywhere else in the UK, it’s a quirky, off kilter kind of place that has its own singular character. Coming from a town like that gave The Beatles, who were already magically blessed with the right combination of talents, just the edge they needed to conquer all before them,” said Chris Purcell, Right Angle Films.
