I dont think this type of thread exists, forgive me if it does, a place for non-music beatles clips.
Was reading about this last night but to see it is incredible. The Beatles and Jimmy Nichol all met up in Melbourne after Ringo had been hospitalised with tonsilitis and missed some of the tour. Thousands of people came out to see them and it was captured live by a tv channel, and some of the beatles gestures and comments wold nowadays be a major controversy.
Below is the second part of 3, the bit with the Beatles, tho the other parts are worth watching too (links to parts 1 & 3 are to the right of the video).

Not sure if I already posted this somewhere, but it's a really funny interview they did with a comedian from Liverpool called Kenneth Dodd. He's one of very few people who can at all upstage the Beatles.
"Now and then, though, someone does begin to grow differently. Instead of down, his feet grow up toward the sky. But we do our best to discourage awkward things like that."
"What happens to them?" insisted Milo.
"Oddly enough, they often grow ten times the size of everyone else," said Alec thoughtfully, "and I’ve heard that they walk among the stars."

I’ve always found this whole video hilarious: the reporter’s stony-faced mention of Paul saying “the judge is a great guy” (such a typical Paul comment), Paul’s crazy mullet, Linda trying not to laugh as Paul nudges her because he knows the excuse is complete rubbish. “Five of ’em… you know, five of ’em came up illegal.”

Posted over at Beatles Video Of The Day (a blog well worth keeping an eye on as it posts some great stuff).
The Point, a real cute Seventies cartoon narrated by Ringo and featuring songs by Harry Nilsson (the songs, with Harry providing the narration instead of Ringo, were issued on Nilsson’s sixth album).

I sat Ted down and made him watch this yesterday. He didn’t really get it. I explained that Harry was singing (we listen to a lot of Nilsson in the car) and Ringo was telling the story but he kept asking “Where’s Ringo?” Maybe I’ll stick with Yellow Submarine for now.
I actually thought The Point was rather slow and didn’t keep my attention, so I’m not wholly surprised he didn’t like it. I love the album though.

Silent footage of the Beatles in Blackpool in 1963 with a live performance of Thank You Girl as the audio (sounds like a BBC performance, possibly from On Air Volume 1).
