Notes: The Beatles filmed an appearance for the BBC television show Top Of The Pops on this day at Riverside Studios in London.
They performed two songs: "Ticket To Ride" and "Yes It Is".

This was the last time the group recorded a mimed performance exclusively for the show. Rehearsals and filming began at 1.30pm.
The Beatles wore the fawn-coloured jackets they would later wear for their Shea Stadium concert on 15 August 1965.

However, a snippet of the performance was included in an episode of Doctor Who entitled The Executioners, part of a mini series
known as The Chase. The episode was first screened on 22 May; although the episode of Top Of The Pops did not survive, the
episode of Doctor Who did, and as a result part of The Beatles performance from this day was preserved.
