The Beatles on The Morecambe and Wise Show
December 2, 1963: Production Day
On Monday, December 2, 1963, at 10:00 AM, a pivotal moment in British television history took place. The Beatles were on the set of the highly popular The Morecambe and Wise Show.
The band's segment was shot that day at ATV's Elstree Studio in Borehamwood. However, the broadcast itself did not reach the nation's screens until the following spring.
The day began with a morning rehearsal where the group practiced their routines.
The filming session took place that afternoon.
For the small studio audience, The Beatles performed three tracks:
"This Boy"
"All My Loving" and
"I Want To Hold Your Hand."
Following their musical numbers, they joined comedy legends Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise for a brief, humorous sketch. They concluded their appearance by performing a lighthearted rendition of the classic standard, "Moonlight Bay."
Broadcast and Subsequent Releases
The episode of The Morecambe and Wise Show first aired on ITV on Saturday, April 18, 1964, at 8:25 PM. The performance was shown again on July 24 of the subsequent year as part of The Best of Morecambe and Wise Show compilation.
The rendition of "Moonlight Bay" was later officially released on The Beatles' compilation album, Anthology 1, in 1995.
