Tim is joined by award-winning 'I Am the EggPod' producer and host Chris Shaw to explore Her Majesty. They examine the song’s strange place in Abbey Road, its accidental journey to becoming the Beatles’ hidden closing track, and what its humour, brevity and missing final note say about the Beatles’ love of happy accidents and undercutting grand endings.
