Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:26,073 --> 00:00:29,565
"Congratulations, lads.
Number one in US charts" or something
2
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:32,640
It was a great feeling
3
00:00:32,913 --> 00:00:36,314
because we were booked to go there
directly after the Paris trip
4
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:39,578
so it was handy to have
a number one
5
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,752
British pop stars haven't made much
impact on the US, how will you fare?
6
00:00:45,892 --> 00:00:48,588
Well, I can't really say, can I?
7
00:00:48,729 --> 00:00:51,664
Is it up to me? No.
I just hope we go all right
8
00:00:53,767 --> 00:00:58,204
But at that time I didn't realise
that Capitol Records had been told...
9
00:00:58,305 --> 00:01:01,604
John F Kennedy Airport
New York 7th February 1964
They wanted the Beatles, you see
10
00:01:01,708 --> 00:01:04,643
Brian Epstein said
"OK, you can have them...
11
00:01:04,745 --> 00:01:09,614
"on condition that you spend $70000,"
which sounded enormous
12
00:01:09,750 --> 00:01:14,653
So they had to promote us, but I
think there was more to it than that
13
00:01:14,755 --> 00:01:17,622
They had a catchy single
that took off
14
00:01:18,191 --> 00:01:21,388
plus Ed Sullivan
had seen us in England
15
00:01:21,528 --> 00:01:23,689
and Time, Life and Newsweek
16
00:01:23,797 --> 00:01:29,258
had all put covers of the Beatles
on their magazines prior to us arriving
17
00:01:29,403 --> 00:01:31,803
It was a surprise, though
18
00:01:31,905 --> 00:01:36,638
because we thought we'd have to work
a little bit for this notoriety
19
00:01:37,077 --> 00:01:39,545
If there was a turning point
in their career
20
00:01:39,679 --> 00:01:43,740
Voice of Beatles' Manager Brian Epstein
a specific date on which the scope
of their future was to be altered
21
00:01:43,917 --> 00:01:47,944
it was the day they touched down
at Kennedy International in New York
22
00:01:48,088 --> 00:01:52,422
to a welcome seldom equalled
anywhere in history
23
00:02:03,804 --> 00:02:06,602
Would you please sing something?
- No!
24
00:02:08,475 --> 00:02:12,809
Is there something you CAN sing?
- No, we need money first!
25
00:02:15,315 --> 00:02:19,149
How many of you are bald if you have
to wear those wigs? - All of us
26
00:02:19,286 --> 00:02:22,881
Oh, we're all bald...
and deaf and dumb, too
27
00:02:29,596 --> 00:02:33,362
Are you for real?
- Come and have a feel
28
00:02:34,568 --> 00:02:38,664
Are you going to get a haircut?
- No, no, no... no thanks
29
00:02:38,805 --> 00:02:40,796
I had one yesterday
30
00:02:42,209 --> 00:02:45,474
That's no lie
- It's true
31
00:02:46,413 --> 00:02:49,439
What is it that your music
does to these people?
32
00:02:50,517 --> 00:02:53,145
Pleases them, I think.
It must because they're buying it
33
00:02:53,286 --> 00:02:56,187
Why does it excite them so much?
- We don't know, really
34
00:02:56,323 --> 00:03:00,123
We're going to form another group
and be managers
35
00:03:01,761 --> 00:03:05,959
I remember the great moment
of going into the limo
36
00:03:06,132 --> 00:03:08,726
and there we were
on American radio
37
00:03:15,041 --> 00:03:21,503
And tomorrow an exciting morningas Brad Phi!! Ips has the Beat!es...
38
00:03:26,152 --> 00:03:31,351
Tomorrow night the Beatles read theirown poetry on 'Meet The Beat!es...'
39
00:03:31,491 --> 00:03:33,584
Oh, really?
40
00:03:33,727 --> 00:03:36,195
I don't understand this
41
00:03:37,397 --> 00:03:39,262
We ain't writ no poetry
42
00:03:59,486 --> 00:04:01,681
Lock your door
43
00:05:18,865 --> 00:05:23,234
We were so over-awed by American
radio - Epstein had to stop us -
44
00:05:23,370 --> 00:05:27,636
we phoned every radio in town,
asking them to play the Ronettes
45
00:05:27,774 --> 00:05:30,470
We didn't ask for our own records,
but other people's
46
00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:34,840
This is John Lennon of the Beatles
on 1010 WINS
47
00:05:35,148 --> 00:05:39,346
This is the Beatles station. They're
taking over, telling us what to play
48
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:42,886
One more week of this
and I'll become the fifth Beatle
49
00:05:43,089 --> 00:05:46,889
I liked Murray, he was a good guy.
There was him and cousin Bruce
50
00:05:46,993 --> 00:05:53,228
He became the so-called 'fifth Beatle' -
he was really big on our record
51
00:05:53,633 --> 00:05:55,624
He helped make it a hit
52
00:05:55,935 --> 00:05:58,233
Paul, suppose you tell them
what we got next
53
00:05:58,471 --> 00:06:03,431
We were very impressed with him,
so we'd ring his show
54
00:06:03,576 --> 00:06:07,034
He'd say "The Beatles are on
and I've got an exclusive interview"
55
00:06:07,147 --> 00:06:11,379
We'd ring up "Hello, excuse me, Murray."
"Oh, it's George. Hi, George..."
56
00:06:11,518 --> 00:06:14,885
We'd give him all the exclusives
because we loved him
57
00:06:15,388 --> 00:06:19,518
This is Pau! McCartney from WINS
58
00:06:19,626 --> 00:06:23,357
and it's Marvin Gaye singing
Pride and Joy
59
00:07:04,904 --> 00:07:08,396
It's me - you know me - yes
60
00:07:09,008 --> 00:07:13,741
We're waiting for a call from London
and you're blocking the line
61
00:07:14,247 --> 00:07:16,841
Hello, John
- Hello, Brian
62
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:20,113
What are your first impressions
of arrival in America?
63
00:07:20,253 --> 00:07:25,691
I don't know. They're sort of wild,
you know... all wild
64
00:07:25,792 --> 00:07:30,786
Wilder than they are in England?
- Maybe it was the first impression
65
00:07:30,964 --> 00:07:32,864
They seemed out of their minds
66
00:07:32,999 --> 00:07:36,366
Did you get home betweeen leaving
Paris and going to the States?
67
00:07:36,469 --> 00:07:41,668
We were in London for two days
- You didn't go to Liverpool?
68
00:07:42,275 --> 00:07:46,803
No. George went but he's regretting it.
He still hasn't slept
69
00:07:46,913 --> 00:07:49,541
Is George there now?
- Do you want to speak to him?
70
00:07:49,682 --> 00:07:53,880
In a moment, but do you want to say
anything to the fans here at home?
71
00:07:53,987 --> 00:07:57,514
Tell them not to forget,
we're only away for ten days
72
00:07:57,624 --> 00:07:59,683
We're thinking of them
73
00:07:59,826 --> 00:08:02,420
Let's have a word with Ringo
74
00:08:04,931 --> 00:08:09,129
What was the first thing you did
when you got to your hotel, Ringo?
75
00:08:09,235 --> 00:08:15,435
We had a big press interview
with about 100 people
76
00:08:16,242 --> 00:08:21,908
We got out of that, then we had
a Cadillac each, marvellous cars
77
00:08:22,048 --> 00:08:25,279
What sort of things do they want
to know at the press reception?
78
00:08:25,385 --> 00:08:30,687
Are we bald, and what do we do
with our money - the usual things
79
00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:35,921
You proved you don't wear wigs?
- Yeah, we took them off
80
00:08:36,796 --> 00:08:39,663
Well, cheerio Ringo,
and the best of luck to you
81
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,997
Give my regards to everyone.
Here's George now
82
00:08:44,103 --> 00:08:47,095
Hello, George
- How are you, Brian?
83
00:08:49,475 --> 00:08:52,672
The first thing you'll be doing
is the Ed Sullivan Show, isn't it?
84
00:08:52,812 --> 00:08:57,977
We rehearse that tomorrow
and do the show on Sunday
85
00:08:58,117 --> 00:09:00,642
What will you be doing on the show?
86
00:09:00,753 --> 00:09:04,985
I Want to Hold your Hand,She Loves You, P!ease P!ease Me
87
00:09:05,124 --> 00:09:07,024
The usual ones
88
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,095
How many of your records
are in the American hit parade?
89
00:09:10,196 --> 00:09:14,030
We've got six in the top hundred
90
00:09:14,167 --> 00:09:19,764
I Want to Hold Your Hand, She Loves You,P!ease P!ease Me, From Me to You
91
00:09:19,873 --> 00:09:23,673
My Bonnie, which is a laugh,
and I Saw Her Standing There
92
00:09:23,810 --> 00:09:29,146
You know in New York
three records are number one:
93
00:09:29,282 --> 00:09:32,945
Please Please Me, She Loves You,I Want to Ho! D Your Hand
94
00:09:33,086 --> 00:09:36,078
That's marvellous!
We're all very proud of you
95
00:09:36,189 --> 00:09:39,681
Good luck, and we look forward
to seeing you back home soon
96
00:09:40,026 --> 00:09:43,359
We'll see you in two weeks,
I suppose
97
00:09:43,963 --> 00:09:47,262
I'd this throat thing because
when you see the photographs -
98
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,497
they did publicity shots
in Central Park -
99
00:09:52,972 --> 00:09:56,601
There's pictures of the three of them
with the New York skyline behind them
100
00:09:59,412 --> 00:10:03,348
Our theatre's jammed with newsmen
and photographers from all over
101
00:10:03,483 --> 00:10:10,286
The city has never witnessed such
excitement as stirred by the Beatles
102
00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:13,621
Tonight you will twice
be entertained by them
103
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,390
Right now, and again in the second
half of our show. The Beatles!
104
00:10:24,003 --> 00:10:29,236
The Ed Sullivan Show
New York 9th February 1964
105
00:12:03,136 --> 00:12:07,971
It's still supposed to be the largest
viewing audience ever in the States
106
00:12:08,107 --> 00:12:12,806
and the States being the biggest
show biz town ever
107
00:12:12,912 --> 00:12:18,248
People still talk about it like "Where
were you when Kennedy was shot?"
108
00:12:33,933 --> 00:12:37,596
Something very nice happened
and the Beatles got a kick out of it
109
00:12:37,703 --> 00:12:41,605
They've just received a wire from
Elvis Presley and Colonel Tom Parker
110
00:12:41,707 --> 00:12:45,871
wishing them a tremendous
success in our country
111
00:12:46,312 --> 00:12:52,774
Later they said there was the least
reported, or no reported crime
112
00:12:53,252 --> 00:12:59,623
Even criminals had a rest for
ten minutes while we were on
113
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:03,026
Then we did the train ride
to Washington
114
00:13:16,843 --> 00:13:20,904
That's where we got to know
quite a few of the press guys
115
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,517
They started to get friendly and let us
know they were actually there to kill us
116
00:13:25,685 --> 00:13:28,779
Beause we shouted at them,
they loved us
117
00:13:29,555 --> 00:13:31,785
God knows what would have happened
if we hadn't shouted
118
00:13:45,071 --> 00:13:49,098
It's great being here in New York
- Washington
119
00:13:49,242 --> 00:13:53,440
Oh, is that the place? Washington?
I'm just moving so fast
120
00:14:08,794 --> 00:14:14,994
Voice of Neil Aspinall
Tour Manager
That Washington show was like a
boxing ring, with people all round
121
00:14:15,334 --> 00:14:19,498
Every song, you'd go to a different
side of the stage
122
00:14:19,672 --> 00:14:22,197
so you had to move the mikes
all the time
123
00:14:22,308 --> 00:14:28,076
Ringo was sitting on this round thing
in the middle of the stage
124
00:14:28,214 --> 00:14:33,880
He had to turn that round to face
the band and it got stuck
125
00:14:33,986 --> 00:14:40,186
All this chaos was going on.
But it was a good show
126
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,663
Washington Coliseum
11th February 1964
127
00:15:10,456 --> 00:15:17,225
Thank you very much, everybody,
and good evening
128
00:15:20,733 --> 00:15:26,569
We'd like to thank everybody
here in America, Washington
129
00:15:34,814 --> 00:15:38,910
We'd like to thank everybody
for buying this particular record -
130
00:15:39,051 --> 00:15:41,849
for starting us off in America
131
00:15:41,954 --> 00:15:45,947
and giving us the chance to come here
and see you all in Washington
132
00:18:10,636 --> 00:18:14,697
The song we'd like
to carry on with now
133
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,607
is one which we recorded
on an LP that we made
134
00:18:19,712 --> 00:18:22,840
That's English for album,
an album we made
135
00:18:22,948 --> 00:18:29,444
We'd like you to join in -
clap your hands and stamp your feet
136
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,520
Everybody join in all together
137
00:18:43,836 --> 00:18:47,203
The song's called
I Saw Her Standing There
138
00:21:45,084 --> 00:21:47,075
Thank you very much
139
00:21:47,686 --> 00:21:51,349
We would like to sing a song now
140
00:21:51,490 --> 00:21:56,894
which was a record for us
and it was our first hit in England
141
00:22:02,835 --> 00:22:06,828
This song was released in America.
It didn't do anything
142
00:22:07,239 --> 00:22:13,109
It was released later again and, well,
it's doing something, you know
143
00:22:17,816 --> 00:22:23,516
We'd like to play for you now
P!ease P!ease Me
144
00:24:25,077 --> 00:24:28,706
British Embassy Washington
11th February 1964
The British Embassy it was -
there was a party
145
00:24:28,847 --> 00:24:34,080
This was starting to happen because
we were now conquering America
146
00:24:34,186 --> 00:24:38,418
and the British Ambassador
could play a role in this
147
00:24:38,557 --> 00:24:42,152
It would be good publicity
for him, you know
148
00:24:43,629 --> 00:24:47,929
There were a lot of 'Hooray Henrys'
which we'd never met before
149
00:24:48,033 --> 00:24:53,232
We hadn't played many Arts Balls
or Cambridge May Balls
150
00:24:53,372 --> 00:24:56,773
We'd heard about these guys who
got a bit stroppy after a few drinks
151
00:24:56,875 --> 00:25:02,040
"Oh, I say... play Rachmaninov's
Piano Concerto, ha ha ha"
152
00:25:02,314 --> 00:25:05,875
We were standing around,
saying "Hi" and having a drink
153
00:25:06,852 --> 00:25:12,119
One of them came up behind me
and snipped a piece of my hair off
154
00:25:12,991 --> 00:25:15,789
I was so angry "What the hell
do you think you're doing?"
155
00:25:15,928 --> 00:25:17,919
"Oh, it's OK, old chap"
156
00:25:19,198 --> 00:25:24,363
Some bloody animal cut Ringo's hair
in the middle of...
157
00:25:24,469 --> 00:25:29,463
I walked out, swearing at all of them.
I just left in the middle of it
158
00:25:31,877 --> 00:25:33,902
We eventually got down to Miami
159
00:25:34,413 --> 00:25:37,507
which was just like Paradise
160
00:25:37,649 --> 00:25:41,483
We'd never been to anywhere
where there were palm trees
161
00:25:41,587 --> 00:25:46,422
We took a lot of photos. We were
like tourists with our Pentax cameras
162
00:27:33,231 --> 00:27:38,396
We had a great time, looking down
at the sand from our hotel
163
00:27:38,503 --> 00:27:43,497
The kids would write
"I love John" on the sand
164
00:27:43,642 --> 00:27:46,133
so you could read it
from your hotel room
165
00:27:49,014 --> 00:27:51,005
Who are you?
166
00:27:51,616 --> 00:27:53,447
What's your name?
167
00:27:53,719 --> 00:27:55,516
Which one are you?
168
00:27:57,522 --> 00:28:00,514
This was just the most brilliant
place I'd ever been to
169
00:28:00,625 --> 00:28:04,026
People were lending us yachts
or anything we wanted
170
00:28:04,162 --> 00:28:07,962
This family lent us their boat
and they let me drive
171
00:28:08,066 --> 00:28:11,524
a 60 foot yacht, a speed boat
172
00:28:11,636 --> 00:28:14,969
which I proceeded to bring in
to port head on
173
00:28:18,176 --> 00:28:22,442
Not really knowing much about
driving speed boats
174
00:28:22,914 --> 00:28:26,748
and so they have those pretty rails
on the front hanging over
175
00:28:27,986 --> 00:28:32,514
I bent the bugger all over the place
but they didn't seem to mind
176
00:28:39,631 --> 00:28:44,659
The Ed Sullivan Show Rehearsals
Miami 16th February 1964
177
00:28:48,774 --> 00:28:54,144
For the next song, we'd like to sing...
OK, hang on...
178
00:28:58,250 --> 00:29:01,117
Shut up while he's talking
179
00:29:02,721 --> 00:29:06,714
And now from the stage of the
Deauville Hotel - Ed Sullivan!
180
00:29:14,833 --> 00:29:17,324
Thank you very much
181
00:29:19,237 --> 00:29:24,903
It's so nice to be here, thank you
182
00:29:25,143 --> 00:29:28,909
It's happened again.
Last Sunday on our show in New York
183
00:29:29,047 --> 00:29:35,043
the Beatles played to the greatest
audience ever on American TV
184
00:29:35,353 --> 00:29:38,686
Tonight, here in Miami Beach
185
00:29:38,824 --> 00:29:42,817
again the Beatles face
a record busting audience
186
00:29:46,198 --> 00:29:48,189
Ladies and gentlemen
187
00:29:48,767 --> 00:29:53,830
Here are four of the nicest kids
we've ever had on our stage
188
00:31:25,397 --> 00:31:28,025
Excuse the mess,
won't you... packing
189
00:31:47,586 --> 00:31:50,054
These youngsters from
Liverpool, England...
190
00:31:50,155 --> 00:31:54,114
Their conduct over here,
not only as fine professional singers
191
00:31:54,226 --> 00:31:56,717
but as a group of fine youngsters
192
00:31:56,895 --> 00:32:01,662
will leave an imprint with everyone
over here who has met them
193
00:32:03,602 --> 00:32:07,663
Nobody ever made it in America -
we were dying to be the first
194
00:32:07,872 --> 00:32:10,432
A lot of people had tried
and failed in America
195
00:32:10,675 --> 00:32:15,942
We were very confident, our
confidence was at an all-time high
196
00:32:16,715 --> 00:32:20,879
I felt we'd conquered America -
it was an attitude we had
197
00:32:20,986 --> 00:32:25,116
We'd conquered Sweden and France
so America was ours now
198
00:32:32,864 --> 00:32:37,028
London Airport
22nd February 1964
199
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,917
What do you most like
about the trip, Ringo?
200
00:32:57,055 --> 00:32:59,580
I loved it all, especially Miami
201
00:32:59,724 --> 00:33:03,387
I didn't know what 'sun' meant
before I went there
202
00:33:03,528 --> 00:33:08,465
Don't you get it in Liverpool?
- No, they've finished up there
203
00:33:08,933 --> 00:33:13,768
Did you have a chance to get away
without anybody recognising you?
204
00:33:13,872 --> 00:33:18,275
We borrowed a couple of
millionaires' houses, you know
205
00:33:18,743 --> 00:33:23,840
You could afford to buy a couple
- We'd sooner borrow, it's cheaper
206
00:33:23,948 --> 00:33:27,475
We did a bit of water skiing
207
00:33:27,585 --> 00:33:31,919
Did your wife enjoy it over there?
- She loved it, who... who?
208
00:33:32,290 --> 00:33:36,386
Don't tell them he's married
- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
209
00:33:36,528 --> 00:33:40,988
What about the taste of the fans over
there, did you find the same stuff?
210
00:33:45,337 --> 00:33:49,296
Yeah, we expected them to be very
different but they weren't at all
211
00:33:50,075 --> 00:33:53,203
The accent was the only difference
212
00:33:53,311 --> 00:33:56,280
Did they reckon you sang in an
English accent or an American one?
213
00:33:56,414 --> 00:33:59,178
Some fella said, how come
you're from Britain
214
00:33:59,317 --> 00:34:02,514
and you sing with an
American accent?
215
00:34:02,654 --> 00:34:07,387
We tried to explain that
it's a Liverpool accent
216
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,524
I hear that the four of you will be
millionaires by the end of the year
217
00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:14,120
That's nice
218
00:34:15,533 --> 00:34:18,331
Have you time to spend this money?
- What money?
219
00:34:22,407 --> 00:34:26,901
You went to see those movies with Elvis
or somebody in them in Liverpool
220
00:34:27,045 --> 00:34:30,344
Everybody was waiting to see him.
I'd be waiting there too
221
00:34:30,482 --> 00:34:33,110
They'd all scream when
he came on the screen
222
00:34:33,251 --> 00:34:35,719
So we thought,
that's a good job
223
00:34:35,887 --> 00:34:39,948
We'd always... I'm talking about
this progression with the Beatles
224
00:34:40,091 --> 00:34:45,085
From the Stevedores' and Dockers'
Union, the Cavern, better clubs
225
00:34:45,196 --> 00:34:49,724
So films was one that
we'd always thought of
226
00:34:49,834 --> 00:34:54,168
We loved The Girl Can't Help It and
knew rock'n'roll could lead to films
227
00:34:54,439 --> 00:34:55,565
How do you reckon that one out?
228
00:34:55,774 --> 00:34:59,608
I loved the pictures as a kid
229
00:34:59,711 --> 00:35:05,240
I used to go a hell
of a lot in Liverpool
230
00:35:06,484 --> 00:35:11,148
Great memories from
the Saturday morning pictures
231
00:35:11,289 --> 00:35:15,419
If it was a pirate movie,
I would be a pirate
232
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,862
If it was a western,
I'd come home as a cowboy
233
00:35:21,266 --> 00:35:24,963
It was a great fantasy land
for me as a kid
234
00:35:25,770 --> 00:35:29,171
We were interested in films
and what happened was...
235
00:35:29,274 --> 00:35:33,643
Brian started talking to people,
knowing of our interest
236
00:35:33,745 --> 00:35:36,839
He came up with Dick Lester's name
237
00:35:36,948 --> 00:35:41,908
He did the Running Jumping Standing
Sti!! Film with Spike Milligan
238
00:35:42,053 --> 00:35:45,045
A classic comedy short,
about five minutes long
239
00:35:45,156 --> 00:35:49,718
I don't know if it's funny now,
but it was very funny then
240
00:36:12,016 --> 00:36:16,077
So they got hold of Dick Lester
and we were really pleased
241
00:36:16,187 --> 00:36:20,317
Dick came round. He was a bit of
a musician, played jazz piano
242
00:36:20,425 --> 00:36:23,792
so he was even more interesting
243
00:36:23,928 --> 00:36:29,560
He was American but he'd worked
in Britain with the Goons
244
00:36:29,667 --> 00:36:34,161
He got hold of Alun Owen,
a Welsh playwright
245
00:36:34,272 --> 00:36:37,867
who'd written
Last Tram to Lime Street
246
00:36:38,009 --> 00:36:42,708
Something like that,
it was a long time ago now
247
00:36:42,847 --> 00:36:46,681
It was a very good play
with Billie Whitelaw
248
00:36:46,784 --> 00:36:49,651
that Alun was known for
249
00:36:49,754 --> 00:36:54,782
He was a very likeable Welsh bloke
and he hung out with us for a few days
250
00:36:54,926 --> 00:36:57,895
He picked up little quotes like
"He's very clean, isn't he?"
251
00:36:57,996 --> 00:37:03,457
He picked up the jokes and sarcasm,
the Beatle humour
252
00:37:03,601 --> 00:37:07,594
John's wit and each one of us,
Ringo's laconic humour
253
00:37:07,705 --> 00:37:10,674
He picked up our characters,
which was good
254
00:37:11,175 --> 00:37:15,805
Normally in pictures you do things back
to front, maybe the end on one day...
255
00:37:15,947 --> 00:37:20,714
and the beginning the next day, but
this one we almost did it in sequence
256
00:38:46,671 --> 00:38:49,663
It was very exciting. We got on
a train at Marylebone station
257
00:38:49,807 --> 00:38:52,332
and the next minute
we're in a film
258
00:38:56,514 --> 00:39:01,178
There were little girls in gymslips
who were actually models
259
00:39:01,319 --> 00:39:05,551
We were fascinated with them
and George married one
260
00:39:05,823 --> 00:39:08,883
Pattie Boyd was one
of the girls on the train
261
00:39:27,311 --> 00:39:31,907
The whole of the train bit -
we were just going to pieces...
262
00:39:32,250 --> 00:39:38,189
It was all so romantic with the lights
and coming to work in the limo
263
00:39:38,322 --> 00:39:43,521
Getting up early wasn't
the best thing we could do
264
00:39:43,628 --> 00:39:49,066
The scene in Hard Day's Night,
the one I got a good credit for -
265
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:54,103
walking on the beach...
by the canal
266
00:39:54,238 --> 00:39:58,038
with the camera and that -
the lonely guy scene
267
00:40:04,549 --> 00:40:08,508
That came about because
I came directly to work -
268
00:40:08,653 --> 00:40:11,247
very unprofessional -
straight from a night club
269
00:40:11,355 --> 00:40:14,722
I was a little hung over,
to say the least
270
00:40:14,826 --> 00:40:19,729
I was just so out of it,
so they said "Let's do anything"
271
00:40:20,131 --> 00:40:23,931
My version of it was - I said
"Just film me walking around"
272
00:40:25,570 --> 00:40:30,234
I looked so cold and dejected
because I felt like shit
273
00:40:30,641 --> 00:40:35,601
There was no acting going on,
I just felt so bad
274
00:40:36,114 --> 00:40:39,277
I was less embarrassed
than the others
275
00:40:39,383 --> 00:40:41,647
but I think John
got into the movie too
276
00:40:46,557 --> 00:40:48,354
Hello
277
00:40:48,493 --> 00:40:51,087
Wait a minute, you're...
- No, I'm not
278
00:40:51,195 --> 00:40:54,426
Oh, you are. I know you are
- I'm not, no
279
00:40:54,832 --> 00:40:59,428
You look just like him
- You're the first ever to say that
280
00:40:59,771 --> 00:41:01,762
Yes you do, look
281
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,298
No, my eyes are lighter. My nose...
282
00:41:06,444 --> 00:41:08,469
Oh yes, your nose is very...
- Is it?
283
00:41:08,613 --> 00:41:10,706
I would have said so
- You know him better though
284
00:41:10,848 --> 00:41:13,874
I do not. He's a casual acquaintance
- That's what you say
285
00:41:13,985 --> 00:41:16,385
What have you heard?
286
00:41:16,521 --> 00:41:19,490
It's all over the place
- Is it really?
287
00:41:19,590 --> 00:41:24,084
But I stuck up for you
- I knew I could rely on you
288
00:41:29,233 --> 00:41:32,430
You don't look like him at all
289
00:41:37,175 --> 00:41:40,144
She looks more like him than I do
290
00:41:46,651 --> 00:41:51,588
Alun Owen tried to write a scene
of us being harassed by the press
291
00:41:51,856 --> 00:41:54,416
which was part
of our daily duty really
292
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:59,758
They were saying things like
"How did you find America?"
293
00:42:00,164 --> 00:42:01,631
Turn left at Greenland
294
00:42:02,033 --> 00:42:03,660
What do you call that hairstyle?
295
00:42:04,268 --> 00:42:05,360
Arthur
296
00:42:05,469 --> 00:42:06,868
Has success changed your life?
297
00:42:07,205 --> 00:42:12,006
I think it did, because Alun hung
around with us and was careful...
298
00:42:12,109 --> 00:42:16,705
to put words into our mouths
that he'd heard us speak
299
00:42:16,848 --> 00:42:19,043
so I think he did a very good script
300
00:42:21,452 --> 00:42:24,853
Leave those drums alone!
- Oh, just a little touch
301
00:42:24,956 --> 00:42:29,393
If you even breathe on them...
- Aren't you being rather arbitrary?
302
00:42:29,527 --> 00:42:32,792
There you go, hiding behind a
smokescreen of bourgeois clich�s
303
00:42:32,964 --> 00:42:37,526
I don't mess around with your earphones
- Spoilsport
304
00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:44,107
He's very fussy about his drums.
They loom large in his legend
305
00:42:45,276 --> 00:42:47,506
What's up?
- Oh, he's sulking again
306
00:42:47,678 --> 00:42:49,145
I'll show him
307
00:45:07,585 --> 00:45:10,884
Pardon, 'scuse, pardon...
I'd like more drums, there
308
00:45:10,988 --> 00:45:13,786
No, I think it's on that...
309
00:45:13,924 --> 00:45:17,621
On the third bit... more bang...
310
00:45:19,397 --> 00:45:23,026
The next few minutes are in the lap
of the gods and the hands of the Beatles
311
00:45:23,167 --> 00:45:27,160
We're going to hear versions
of songs from their films
312
00:45:27,271 --> 00:45:30,240
Gather round, famous film stars,
gather round
313
00:45:30,908 --> 00:45:35,311
In my young days, they used
to have actors in films
314
00:45:36,013 --> 00:45:39,073
It's all changed now
- They're not doing that
315
00:45:39,216 --> 00:45:43,516
Did you find that the best bits
were left on the cutting room floor?
316
00:45:43,654 --> 00:45:48,785
The good bits are in the film.
He said those were the best. Rubbish!
317
00:45:48,926 --> 00:45:52,521
Was it really? Who was worst?
- Oh, Paul!
318
00:45:52,630 --> 00:45:55,394
No, I think John was about the worst
- No, it was you
319
00:45:55,533 --> 00:45:57,831
Ringo was very good. He's a good lad
320
00:45:57,968 --> 00:46:00,459
They're saying he's
the new Charlie Chaplin
321
00:46:00,604 --> 00:46:02,595
He's an old one
322
00:46:28,999 --> 00:46:33,800
We liked the bit in the field where
we all jump about like lunatics
323
00:46:33,904 --> 00:46:36,668
because that's pure film,
as the director told us
324
00:46:36,841 --> 00:46:40,242
We could have been anybody
but we enjoyed it
325
00:47:15,346 --> 00:47:19,942
NME Poll Winners' Concert
London
326
00:48:15,005 --> 00:48:17,633
Well John, I believe
you've written a book
327
00:48:17,775 --> 00:48:21,108
This book's called John Lennon -
In His Own Write, folks
328
00:48:21,245 --> 00:48:26,877
W R I T E, you see - it's
a laugh a minute with John Lennon
329
00:48:26,984 --> 00:48:30,943
Some of you might find it a bit
difficult to understand
330
00:48:31,088 --> 00:48:35,149
because it's in a sort
of funny lingo
331
00:48:35,292 --> 00:48:39,126
Well, we get it.
It's full of laughs
332
00:48:39,230 --> 00:48:42,028
I don't really know how
you can describe it, but...
333
00:48:42,333 --> 00:48:47,100
I've never read anything like it.
The stories are so funny
334
00:48:47,238 --> 00:48:51,106
Many little drawings to make you laugh.
It also had the wrestling dog
335
00:48:51,308 --> 00:48:54,038
Once upon a time,
in a far off, distant land
336
00:48:54,144 --> 00:48:59,207
far across the sea, miles away from
anyway, over the hills as the crow barks
337
00:48:59,316 --> 00:49:04,185
39 people lived miles from anywhere
on a little island on a distant land
338
00:49:04,321 --> 00:49:09,156
At harvest time, the people celebrated
with a feast and dancing
339
00:49:09,293 --> 00:49:11,761
It was Perry's
- For Perry was the loud mirth
340
00:49:11,895 --> 00:49:14,762
Job to provide
- At Perry's great pleasure, I might add
341
00:49:14,865 --> 00:49:17,265
A new and exciting...
- And usually it was
342
00:49:17,401 --> 00:49:21,667
thrill and spectacular performer
- Sometimes a dwarf was used
343
00:49:21,805 --> 00:49:26,799
This year Perry had surpassed
himself by getting a wrestling dog
344
00:49:27,911 --> 00:49:32,678
But who would fight this wondrous
beast? Not me, Dudley
345
00:49:32,816 --> 00:49:34,784
Mr John Lennon...
346
00:49:45,829 --> 00:49:49,458
Mr John Lennon will be back with the
answers later in the programme
347
00:49:49,767 --> 00:49:54,898
From an early age, John had a fancy
for that kind of thing
348
00:49:55,039 --> 00:49:59,874
At school he did "The Daily Howl"
which was like a comic
349
00:50:00,010 --> 00:50:03,946
He used to draw all the things
and it would be little jokes
350
00:50:04,081 --> 00:50:07,482
Today would be Muggy, followed
by Tuggy, Weggy, and Thurggy
351
00:50:07,584 --> 00:50:12,078
Little teenage jokes.
He used to do a lot of that
352
00:50:23,167 --> 00:50:28,400
Long distance calling for the manager
of the Beatles? His name, please?
353
00:50:28,505 --> 00:50:32,236
The manager's name
is Mr Brian Epstein
354
00:50:35,913 --> 00:50:39,144
The manager's name is Brian Epstein
355
00:50:39,350 --> 00:50:45,346
I went to Torquay with Brian
to write "A Cellarful of Noise"
356
00:50:45,489 --> 00:50:49,220
On the third day he said "I've got
a lovely idea. I want you to join us"
357
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:54,229
I thought this is incredible,
this is the idea
358
00:50:54,365 --> 00:50:59,166
Derek Taylor
Beatles' Press Officer
I'd given up on the idea of joining them,
thinking, if it happens, it happens
359
00:50:59,470 --> 00:51:04,271
So after about 15 years
on newspapers
360
00:51:04,408 --> 00:51:07,434
I just dropped out
and joined the Beatles
361
00:51:07,544 --> 00:51:11,002
I was Brian's personal assistant,
then eventually their press officer
362
00:51:11,815 --> 00:51:14,784
I remember we played in Amsterdam...
363
00:51:14,918 --> 00:51:18,786
was when Derek
first came on tour with us
364
00:51:19,056 --> 00:51:20,523
We nearly didn't do that tour
365
00:51:20,991 --> 00:51:26,156
I was desperately ill,
I was having my tonsils out
366
00:51:26,797 --> 00:51:29,595
George is a very loyal person
and he said:
367
00:51:29,733 --> 00:51:34,568
George Martin
Record Producer
"If Ringo's not part of the group,
it's not the Beatles. I won't go"
368
00:51:34,705 --> 00:51:41,406
I despised the way we couldn't ever
make a decision for ourselves
369
00:51:41,512 --> 00:51:46,745
It was always like "No, sorry."
"But Ringo must go with us"
370
00:51:46,884 --> 00:51:49,079
"Sorry, we'll get a new drummer"
371
00:51:51,555 --> 00:51:57,289
Jimmy Nicol was a good drummer
who learnt Ringo's parts very well
372
00:51:57,394 --> 00:52:02,388
He rehearsed with them
and got to know the songs very well
373
00:52:05,803 --> 00:52:08,601
It was very strange
374
00:52:08,705 --> 00:52:12,869
They'd taken Jimmy Nicol and
I thought they didn't love me any more
375
00:52:13,010 --> 00:52:16,002
All that stuff went through my head
376
00:52:17,648 --> 00:52:21,880
Holland
5th June 1964
377
00:54:14,197 --> 00:54:18,827
Jimmy, will you find it difficult
to take over the role of Ringo?
378
00:54:18,969 --> 00:54:22,427
Not really, no
379
00:54:23,006 --> 00:54:27,500
I can never make up
for what Ringo is
380
00:54:27,644 --> 00:54:32,013
How long will you be doing this?
- Until next Thursday
381
00:54:32,115 --> 00:54:35,278
You're a sort of understudy.
Do you think it a great break?
382
00:54:35,385 --> 00:54:37,353
Oh yes, excellent
383
00:54:37,487 --> 00:54:40,786
Treating you good?
- Marvellous
384
00:54:41,091 --> 00:54:42,888
How is Ringo, by the way?
385
00:54:42,993 --> 00:54:46,861
His throat is so sore -
you're living on jelly and ice-cream
386
00:54:46,997 --> 00:54:51,434
I was a smoker in those days
and I was smoking the next day
387
00:54:51,868 --> 00:54:54,200
That was pretty rough
388
00:55:44,321 --> 00:55:46,551
Always good for a gag
is John, you know
389
00:55:46,690 --> 00:55:49,750
What do you expect
to do in Hong Kong?
390
00:55:55,599 --> 00:55:59,228
I don't know,
just see what's happening
391
00:55:59,369 --> 00:56:03,100
It's very different from what
I've seen before, I imagine
392
00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:07,108
Will you do any sightseeing?
- I hope so
393
00:56:12,649 --> 00:56:16,745
Kaitak Airport
Hong Kong 8th June 1964
394
00:56:17,921 --> 00:56:21,914
Hong Kong was different.
It was all army personnel
395
00:56:22,359 --> 00:56:27,592
It was very funny. We'd expected Asians
but it was the British Army
396
00:56:32,002 --> 00:56:36,666
It was all these British people,
there weren't any Chinese there
397
00:56:44,347 --> 00:56:48,306
It was a slightly flat show,
in a smallish place
398
00:56:48,452 --> 00:56:51,683
They all behaved themselves
and all looked like...
399
00:56:51,788 --> 00:56:55,189
They looked like a khaki audience.
It was slightly strange
400
00:56:55,325 --> 00:56:58,988
We just played. I don't think
we enjoyed the show too much
401
00:57:08,872 --> 00:57:13,605
Mascot Airport
Sydney 11th June 1964
402
00:57:19,850 --> 00:57:23,843
We had these capes and they were
disasters in Australia
403
00:57:23,954 --> 00:57:27,788
The rain hit them
and the dye came out
404
00:57:27,924 --> 00:57:33,328
They put the Beatles
on the back of a truck
405
00:57:33,463 --> 00:57:38,765
They had umbrellas
and were wearing these capes
406
00:57:38,869 --> 00:57:40,860
I was OK, I was in the cab
407
00:57:41,037 --> 00:57:45,770
The driver wouldn't go any faster,
even though it was pouring
408
00:57:45,909 --> 00:57:51,870
He said "These kids have waited
24 hours to see these guys"
409
00:57:52,282 --> 00:57:55,115
We got to the hotel
and everybody was blue
410
00:57:55,252 --> 00:57:59,348
because the dye had soaked off
these coats from Hong Kong
411
00:58:20,877 --> 00:58:26,747
They played Amsterdam, Hong Kong,
and I met them in Australia
412
00:58:27,284 --> 00:58:33,280
The flight was just horrendous
to Australia, it still is
413
00:58:33,390 --> 00:58:37,554
It may be two hours less now
but it's still a hell of a long way
414
00:58:38,395 --> 00:58:43,526
I remember getting off the plane
and feeling like a disaster area
415
00:58:44,601 --> 00:58:48,867
But Australia was fabulous, being
back with the boys and in the band
416
00:58:49,005 --> 00:58:52,771
They'd bought me presents
in Hong Kong
417
00:58:52,909 --> 00:58:57,039
That was a really nice moment
418
00:58:59,282 --> 00:59:03,685
It's very nice for all of us
to have back with us now... Ringo!
419
00:59:06,089 --> 00:59:10,788
Festival Hall Melbourne
17th June 1964
420
00:59:15,799 --> 00:59:21,362
We'd like to carry on now
with a song we recorded not long ago
421
00:59:21,471 --> 00:59:24,269
A!! My Loving
422
01:00:27,704 --> 01:00:33,700
When the Beatles arrived in Adelaide,
they were greeted by 300000 fans
423
01:00:33,843 --> 01:00:39,713
Not surprising as they occupy the top
6 placings on the Australian chart
424
01:00:39,849 --> 01:00:43,307
Australia is truly
in the grip of Beatlemania
425
01:00:47,490 --> 01:00:50,288
That was like a hero's welcome
426
01:00:50,393 --> 01:00:54,921
You'd go to the town hall
and they'd all be in the centre
427
01:00:55,065 --> 01:00:57,192
I think we enjoyed all that stuff
428
01:00:57,467 --> 01:01:03,406
It could be wearing but, with that
many people, we were flabbergasted
429
01:01:03,673 --> 01:01:08,007
Yes, shocked and stunned, just happy
430
01:01:08,111 --> 01:01:14,050
Everybody saying "There's more
people than came to see the Queen"
431
01:01:14,884 --> 01:01:17,352
I should think so -
she didn't have any hit records
432
01:01:17,487 --> 01:01:21,480
More people came to see
us there than anywhere
433
01:01:21,591 --> 01:01:24,185
I think the whole
of Australia was there
434
01:01:24,527 --> 01:01:28,964
We were on the roof of some hotel
435
01:01:29,065 --> 01:01:33,331
I don't know if it was Sydney
or Adelaide, or where
436
01:01:33,436 --> 01:01:37,236
There were thousands
and thousands of kids
437
01:01:37,374 --> 01:01:42,311
One of the things
that stuck in my mind
438
01:01:42,445 --> 01:01:48,941
was some guy on crutches -
I don't know why I focused on him
439
01:01:49,085 --> 01:01:52,282
He was shouting,
getting all excited
440
01:01:52,389 --> 01:01:58,191
I saw him throw his crutches away,
like he was healed
441
01:01:58,528 --> 01:02:02,123
and he fell right on his face.
He just fell over
442
01:02:02,999 --> 01:02:08,801
Before we go, we'd like to say
to all of you here tonight
443
01:02:09,039 --> 01:02:13,237
and to everybody who's come
to see us on this tour...
444
01:02:13,376 --> 01:02:16,539
We'd like to say, thank you all
very much for coming along
445
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:08,845
World Premiere - A Hard Day's Night
London 6th July 1964
446
01:06:19,255 --> 01:06:24,625
I think Hard Day's Night had a lot
of comedy in it. People said:
447
01:06:24,761 --> 01:06:27,252
"They're young Marx Brothers"
448
01:06:27,397 --> 01:06:31,993
There had never been four people
doing comedy besides them
449
01:06:32,168 --> 01:06:35,899
Yeah, we were called Britain's
answer to the Marx Brothers
450
01:06:36,039 --> 01:06:38,906
It was very well received
and it did very well
451
01:06:39,776 --> 01:06:44,110
That was part of the Beatles,
they were very funny
452
01:06:44,247 --> 01:06:46,238
I mean, they actually were funny
453
01:06:46,416 --> 01:06:49,351
I found it exciting. I loved it
454
01:06:49,886 --> 01:06:53,913
When you first see yourself on the
big screen, you watch yourself
455
01:06:54,023 --> 01:06:58,756
Look at that ear, that nose, my hair
sticking out - each of us did that
456
01:07:14,077 --> 01:07:18,878
They're very supportive, the Liverpool
people - they loved us getting on
457
01:07:19,015 --> 01:07:24,317
They felt we were traitors when we left,
but the whole town was behind us
458
01:07:24,554 --> 01:07:26,681
We heard that we were
finished in Liverpool
459
01:07:27,056 --> 01:07:31,083
After a bit we began to believe it.
We thought, we don't want to go home
460
01:07:31,194 --> 01:07:34,220
We'll just sneak home to our houses
461
01:07:34,364 --> 01:07:39,063
They said "I've been to the Cavern.
They don't like you any more"
462
01:07:39,235 --> 01:07:42,261
Of course, they were talking to people
who didn't know us anyway
463
01:07:42,438 --> 01:07:44,872
We went back and it was
one of the best ever
464
01:07:49,145 --> 01:07:53,741
Liverpool Airport
10th July 1964
465
01:12:26,722 --> 01:12:29,316
