Video: 'The Beatles - The Morecambe And Wise Show (2 December 1963) (Complete Show - Best Available Quality)'

(Monday, December 2, 1963, mid-morning to late-afternoon GMT) — The Beatles’ celebrated appearance on The The Morecambe and Wise Show comedy sketch TV series, hosted by the much loved British comedy double act Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise, was filmed today at Associated TeleVision’s Elstree Studio Centre, located between Eldon Avenue and Clarendon Road in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, for broadcast on Apr. 18, 1964.

In the morning they rehearsed their act prior to filming in the afternoon. The Beatles performed three songs to a small studio audience: “This Boy,” “All My Loving” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”

They were then joined by Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise for some banter and a light-hearted version of golden oldie “Moonlight Bay.”
