So the above video is not the exact one I was looking for! The vid I wanted was part of this show but I cant find it in a small section clip - P and J were running round listening to snippets of their songs in other languages then deciding if it was Swedish, German etc- if you find let me know!
Anyway!
The Music of Lennon and McCartney 16/12/1965
Their work celebrated by a group of international stars in a fifty minute special!
Recorded over two days 1 & 2 November in Granada's Television Studio 6 in Quay Street, Manchester.
It was eventually screened in B/W across the London area on Thursday 16 December at 9.40pm.
The rest of the UK getting the opportunity to see the spectacular the following night
Friday 17 December 1965 (same time).
Sold for screening around the world it was nominated for the Golden Rose of Montreux Awards 1966 but failed to win.
The making of was documented in a Beatles fanzine which stated there were dozens of fabulous-looking models decorating the studio!
In fact these were supplied by the MANCHESTER based Sheelagh Wilson Model Agency Ltd. The agency location was at Lancaster Buildings, Barton Square, St Ann Street, Manchester 2.
Telephone: BLA 3884-5. Long gone but now not forgotten!
The international stars arrived on the studio set in batches.
Amongst the first was George Martin who conducted his 25-piece orchestra
through his own version of 'I Feel Fine'. Check out George Martins piano playing in the intro.
The full line up is listed below giving artist and song.
John and Paul introduced the programme and acts between each performance.
George and Ringo's appearances are in The Beatles mimed performances
of their latest single A and B side: Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out.
DID YOU KNOW?
On We Can Work It Out John sits and plays a harmonium.
This instrument was used by Ena Sharples and taken from the set of The Rovers Return.
