24 Hours: The World Of John And Yoko offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during a five-day period, captured by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Filmed at their estate, Tittenhurst Park in Ascot, Berkshire, the documentary provides extensive access to the couple's daily activities and thoughts.
The filming coincided with Lennon and Ono's participation in another documentary titled Man Of The Decade for rival broadcaster ATV. Remarkably, the BBC crew also captured behind-the-scenes moments of this concurrent project, showcasing a unique perspective on the filming process.
Desmond Morris, who selected Lennon for the ATV documentary, is seen walking with the couple around the estate, engaging in conversation and posing thought-provoking questions. Candid moments unfold as Lennon and Ono share their views on politics in the comfort of their mansion's kitchen.
The documentary unfolds over the course of five days, culminating in a 35-minute portrayal of Lennon and Ono's world. First aired on BBC 1 on December 15, 1969, 24 Hours offers viewers an immersive experience into the lives of two iconic figures of the era. Selected excerpts from the documentary later found their way into the 1988 production Imagine: John Lennon, further cementing its significance in documenting Lennon and Ono's legacy.
