Notes: Help indeed! This could be the cheapest promotional video for a song ever made by anyone! All four Beatles are sitting on
a plank of wood and near the end of the song it begins to "snow"! Luckily Ringo is holding an umbrella but Paul gets a
mouthful.Very surprised the lads gave this the OK when the director suggested it. Maybe it was the last video filmed on the day and they'd just had enough?

The first TV broadcast of this promo was on "Top of The Pops" on December 25, 1965 and again the next day. To our knowledge It
wasn't televised again until sometime in the late 80's/early 90's on various TV shows around the World. Sometime in the mid
2000's the original master tapes (some including their slates/clocks) crept out onto bootleg DVD, in surprisingly very good quality.

The first issue of these was probably on the "Chronology" set in 2004. Lesser versions appeared over the next few years until
FAB issued their remastered collection of "The Beatles 1965 Vol 9: The Intertel Videos..." in 2015 which included the master
versions with clocks in the best quality seen so far followed a year later by slightly better quality versions on HMC's "The Ultimate Intertels Plus".

It was then nicely remastered and made available in 1993 to promote the CD release of "1962-1966" complete with its hideous red
border. It was again issued in Sept 1996 when it was sent to media outlets to promote the "Anthology" VHS set.Finally it was
included on the "1+" Blu Ray collection in 2015 in superb quality.
