The Beatles cartoon was one of my favourites growing up. I particularly loved the sing along section half way through, I’m sure it’s how I learned the Beatles songs early on. I’ve mentioned it to many people over the years and I’m always surprised at how few remember it, I have a very strong memory of watching it regularly, although it must be around thirty years ago now. It was an American series (which explains the accents) and was made from 1965-1967, but would have been shown well into the seventies in Australia. I looked it up on YouTube last week and have been watching random episodes ever since. It’s pretty much as I remember, although I didn’t notice the cheesy storylines and appalling accents back then. They certainly don’t make ‘em like they used to, which may not be such a bad thing!

This is the first part of episode one, featuring A Hard Day’s Night.
