Having made a well-received appearance on The Frost Programme on Friday 29 September, John Lennon and George Harrison returned to Wembley Studios in London to give another interview.
Once again, the subject of the 45-minute show was Transcendental Meditation. Lennon and Harrison answered questions posed by host David Frost, from viewers’ letters and by members of the studio audience. They also took part in a discussion with various pro- and anti-meditation people.
The edition of The Frost Programme was recorded from 6-7pm, and was shown on the ITV network from 10.30-11.15pm on the same evening.

my dad has this interview on reel to reel somewhere at home, Oct 4th, in the interview it sounds as though a backdrop falls over to which they both laugh at, with John making some remark
Hi John,
Sorry to write out of the blue- hope you’re well. I’m very interested to know more about this reel to reel because I’m currently making a documentary film with the David Frost Estate about his relationship with (among others) The Beatles. I’d love to know more if you have a moment.
