Despite having returned to England just the day before from their first US trip, The Beatles continued work with an appearance on the ABC Television show Big Night Out.
They arrived at Teddington Studios in the morning for rehearsals
The Film
John greeting the crowd.
There are two different films of this. One of them is footage from ITV News, it features The Beatles arriving in boat through Thames River and George talking to a microphone and the rest of the boys greeting to the crowd then they arrive to the studio and you can see them rehearsing one of the sketchs they participated with the host and comedian Mike and Bernie Winters for a few seconds.
Video taken during the rehearsal.
The other film is a 8mm black and white film in poor quality and it features the crowd outside the studio and only a few seconds of The Beatles rehearsing another of the sketchs. The quality is poor and it has a K at the right top.
