(Sunday, January 12, 1964, 8:25-9:25 p.m. GMT) — Three months after The Beatles made their debut on the television show Val Parnell’s Sunday Night At The London Palladiumm, they made their return tonight.

The difference in The Beatles’ profile between then and now was huge, illustrated not least by their fee having gone from £250 to £1,000.

The show was made by Associated TeleVision (ATV), and invariably attracted huge viewing figures.

Much of the day was spent in rehearsals at the Palladium, with The Beatles topping the bill during the live show.

The group took part in a short skit with compère Bruce Forsyth, and closed the show with a five-song set.

The songs performed were “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “This Boy,” “All My Loving,” “Money (That’s What I Want),” and “Twist And Shout.”
