Beatles 'mystery' film discovered

The Magical Mystery Tour included several stops in Devon and Cornwall
Some rare footage of the Beatles' visit to the South West has been 
unearthed in the BBC library in Plymouth.

The film of them at Plymouth Hoe in 1967, as part of the "Magical Mystery 
Tour", was found during a transfer of old film reel onto digital format.

It is part of the uncut original film - much of it unseen for nearly 40 years.

Last October, film of the Fab Four during a visit to the region in 1964 was 
found wrongly stored in the sports section of the South West Film Archive.

With the general election looming on the horizon, the footage of the band 
in Plymouth in October 1964 has resurfaced at a strangely opportune time.

Political persuasion

A reporter, referring to the general election on 15 October that year, 
asked Ringo Starr, if he had voted.

"No," said Ringo. "Did you? No, well there you go then,
that's two of us, 
so don't have a go at me if you didn't vote either."

When asked the same question, John Lennon said: "No I never have time."

The BBC reporter misheard Ringo, and asked if the band were Tories.

"No, not Tories - touring. We're too busy touring," said Ringo.

Images of the Beatles in the region are rare, but local historian and 
Beatles fan Chris Robinson, found one picture and produced a poster of John 
Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr sitting on Plymouth 
Hoe.

Mr Robinson said: "It's so obviously Plymouth Hoe, with Smeaton's Tower in 
the background and the 'wow' factor of the four of them in one place that 
you can say 'I know where that is'."
