The Beatles took part in comedy sketches with hosts Mike and Bernie Winters, and mimed to six songs: ‘All My Loving’, ‘I Wanna Be Your Man’, ‘Till There Was You’, ‘Please Mister Postman’, Money (That’s What I Want and ‘I Want To Hold Your Hand’. One of the comedy routines, a skit on The Beatles’ return from the US, involved the group sailing down the River Thames, being driven to the studio and arriving through a door marked ‘Customs’. The river cruise section was also filmed by an ITN news crew, and George Harrison provided a commentary for the early evening bulletin which parodied the annual Oxford v Cambridge boat race. The other guests on the show were Billy Dainty, Jackie Trent and Lionel Blair.
