QUESTION OF THE DAY with Albert Pritchard. Sunday, August 25 Look for different photos for todays Question Of The Day on both The Beatles Universe and The Beatles Universe-Features Pages. Thank you and enjoy! Amazed, I watched spellbound as five black leather clad dervishes bounced into my life. John, looking like a big Ted himself, kicked off with `Slow Down. TThen Paul bounced up to the mike and tore into `Rip It Up. a rather appropriate choice as by now as some of the gangs were ripping up anything they could lay their hands on. Then George shuffled shyly to the fore and did a comic version of `Im Henry The Eighth I Am. Stuart, back half turned to the audience, mumbled `Wooden Heart. Without ever looking at the screaming girls, Pete pulled the mike towards him and did a creditable version of `Matchbox. By this time I was totally hooked...a prisoner of The Beatles. Their rich, wild sound seemed to pulse right through my body, reverberating around the room. By now everyone was watching in total awe. Even the gangs had declared a truce and stood mesmerized. Immediately after the show finished, I followed them into their dressing room, which in all reality was a ladies toilet converted for the night. Excitedly waving my bookings diary, I told John and Paul One day lads, youre going to be as big as Elvis. John looked as though I was insane and muttered to Paul, Weve got a right nutter here Paul. Paul, knowing who I was, smiled and said, Yes... but hes got a club and work for us. Who is this doing the remenissing? Answer Tomorrow Same Beatle Time (If Possible) and Station! Yesterdays Question: Although they had by this time made 11 appearances on regional and independent television programmes in Britain, this was The Beatles debut on the BBC, giving them a nationwide audience for the first time. They appeared on a show which featured up and coming young talent, to perform three songs. Also on the show, introduced by compere Jimmy Young, were singers Rolf and Tino, Bobbi Carrol, Hank Locklin, guitarist Wout Steenhuis, a four-piece classical ensemble, pianist Johny Pearson and conductor Edwin Braben. The Beatles performed From Me To You, Thank You Girl and Please Please Me. The last song closed the show, and for it the group was joined by the other guests on stage. What was the name of this BBC Show? Answer ... They appeared on the corporations The 625 Show on Saturday April 13th 1963. Following The Beatles appearance on The 625 Show they attended a party held by The Shadows guitarist Bruce Welch in his home in North Harrow, London. There, they met Cliff Richard for the first time. The pop press considered the event to be a significant encounter between rivals; however, it is believed that the two groups had considerable respect for one another. Congratulations to Barb (2 Pages) Rhein Guthrie, Alejandro Lugo Perales, John DeRuvo, Lina (Both Pages )Eleanor Rigby Robbins, Teri (Dont Forget Me) Ekrom, Michael Paresi and Ryan Felton for giving the correct answer.
