Series 61: 6. Arctic Monkeys

Jools presents a special episode of the show dedicated to one of the biggest bands in the world, Arctic Monkeys. \n\nFollowing the release of their highly anticipated seventh album, The Car, the Sheffield four-piece join Jools for an intimate performance of new songs, such as There’d Better Be a Mirrorball and Bodypaint, as well as old favourites from their extensive repertoire, including their 2007 track 505, which had an online viral revival in 2022.\n\nFrontman Alex Turner and drummer Matt Helders also join Jools for chats at the piano, revealing the process behind making the album, unearthing stories from their previous appearances, including a look back at their debut on the show in 2005, and following the new Later... tradition, choosing a performance from the Later... archives. They pick a 2003 performance by Desert Sessions featuring PJ Harvey.
