Mersey Beat was a music publication in Liverpool, England in the early 1960s. It was founded by Bill Harry, who was one of John Lennon's classmates at Liverpool Art College. The paper carried news about all the local Liverpool bands, and stars who came to town to perform.
The Beatles had a close association with Mersey Beat, which carried many exclusive stories and photos of them. They also published several of Lennon's early writings, including a history of the band, and occasional comical classified advertisements by him as space filler.
A fellow student, John Ashcroft, introduced Harry to rock ‘n’ roll records, and the members of Rory Storm & The Hurricanes and Cass & The Cassanovas. Harry carried notebooks with him, collecting information about the local groups, once writing to The Daily Mail: "Liverpool is like New Orleans at the turn of the century, but with rock ‘n’ roll instead of jazz". He also wrote to The Liverpool Echo about the emerging Liverpool music scene, but neither paper was interested in stories about music that was popular with teenagers. The classified ads in The Liverpool Echo for local groups were always under the heading of Jazz, but the paper refused to change this policy, despite pleas from the promoters and groups who actually paid for them. Harry planned to produce a jazz newspaper called Storyville/52nd Street and contacted Sam Leach, the owner of a club called Storyville. Leach promised to fund the newspaper, but failed to turn up for three meetings with Harry, leaving him no other option but to find another investor. Harry thought starting a fortnightly newspaper covering Liverpool's rock 'n' roll music scene would be more successful, and would differ from national music newspapers such as the New Musical Express and the Melody Maker, which only wrote articles about current chart hits and artists.

Supt. Blake co-ordinates a search when an eleven-year old boy is reported missing by his parents. Witnesses claim to have seen a young boy running scared in nearby woods, and when the team go to investigate, PC Milton (Kaye Wragg) is injured after being pushed off a cliff face by a possible suspect. With emotions running high, the team try to find the man responsible as well as locate the missing boy. When a link to the boy's estranged father is discovered, the team realize they may not be dealing with the psychopath that they first expected. However, when PC Milton's condition worsens and she dies in hospital of her injuries, the case is upgraded to a murder enquiry.

Sgt. Gentle decides it's time for a change and decides to go out on the beat with PC Traynor, and the pair investigate a burglary at the home of an antiques dealer, and soon discover a link with several other local robberies. However, one thing that did not account for, is that one of the robbers is a relative of the dealer - a vital piece of information which could lead them to the ringleader of a dangerous gang. Meanwhile, Ch. Insp. Oulton tries to help out an old friend who has found himself on the wrong side of the law - but realizes that he may have completely misjudged his loyalties when evidence is uncovered suggesting that the man may have been guilty after all.

Dans cette rue y avait
Des espagnols qui n'osaient pas montrer
Qu'ils étaient de vieux réfugiés
Qu'avaient fui les cons et les rois
Dans cette rue y avait
Des français n'avaient pas de chance
Ils ont écrit "Vive la France"
Au fronton de leur maison
Dans cette rue y avait
Des portugais fiers comme
Les geôliers de la misère
Quelques arbres fruitiers
Et la pudeur de la terre,
C'était
Ma rue, ma famille
Les mamans qui s'égosillent
C'était : va jouer aux billes
C'était ma rue
C'était pas Manille
Non c'était pas les Antilles
Le marteau ou la faucille
C'était ma rue
Les glaces à la vanille
Et les petites qui frétillent
Qui n'étaient pas si gentilles
C'était ma rue
Bonjour les anguilles
Les condés qui nous quadrillent
Mais c'était pas ma Bastille
C'était ma rue
Dans cette rue y avait
L'Afrique et son mea-culpa
D'avoir un autre dieu je crois
Y z'ont trouvé des cons et des croix
Dans cette rue y avait
Tous les ouvriers de la terre
Y z'ont construit des pieds à terre
Qu'ils n'habiteront jamais
Dans cette rue y avait
Des caravanes comme
Des chariots de la colère
Qu'ont pas peur de l'hiver
De la fureur de la terre
Dans cette rue je crois
Les enfants n'étaient pas de glace
Quand passait le camion de glace
On tirait des langues étrangères
On était dans les bois
On avait des arcs et des flèches
Quand d'autres avaient des cannes à pêche
Mais l'école, elle en veut pas
Un jour on s'est fâchés
On a tout brûlé, on a pas eu peur de l'enfer
Quand on s'est réveillés
Derrière des barreaux en fer
Pour toi
Ma rue, ma famille
Les mamans qui s'égosillent
C'était : va jouer aux billes
C'était ma rue
