The interview continued on with all four erupting in stuffy, mock-upperclass laughter. Then Paul and John repeating "Jolly Good....Jolly Good" So great!
Their interviews were as entertaining as their performances. They handled both very well. The messing about with one another showed us their youth. In the coming years, things got more serious. Isn't that the way it is for us all?
I was so lucky to grow up when they were together. That would be the years 7 thru 14. It sucked when they broke up. People everywhere were talking about it ... for a long time. The music was still there.
I think that this was on the same day -- or the day before -- of the Royal Command Performance Show (Prince of Wales Theatre in London, England) on November 4, 1963; the concert, where John makes the "rattle your jewelry" comment.
Edward Heath, the Lord Privy Seal, made a comment stating that he had difficulty distinguishing the Beatles' Liverpudlian accents as "The Queen's English."
Thank you for the *excellent* , interview footage, iconic... fit in perfectly with the Royal Show pre-concert interview.. a nice addition to the "1963 era" in my play list.
Edward Heath went to the same school as me and there was a whole display dedicated to him outside the dining hall on the lower school sight. Used to flip it off.
Sir Edward “Ted” Heath (see ‘Taxman’ for a shot back) was an MP (member of parliament) who made disparaging remarks about their accents. He was elected PM in 1970 and served through ‘74. No word on if John voted for him. 😂
Actually sorry to be pedantic but he became leader in 1965, and this was from late’63. I think Heath was Lord Privy Seal and was assigned to lead the negotiations with the Common Market about Britain’s entry so he was fairly well known at the time.
Edward Heath had reportedly been unable to understand what the Beatles were talking about in some context. This was percieved to be a problem? By whom, pray tell?
I forgot who said it but one of them said that they had to play the Show business part to get in show business. Late 1966 was when they stopped touring and did whatever they wanted.
Ted was one of Ringo's double's in late 1964. He is seen shortly as Ringo in Magical Mystery Tour (1967) when Mr. Blood-something asks "Ringo" if he may talk to Aunt Jessie. Ted replies "Be my guest". That's the only scene where he is seen as Ringo, all other scenes are with the real Richard B. Starkey
