Notes: On this third day, September 13, the filming for "Magical Mystery Tour" began in Watergate Bay, Tregurrian, a beach
located five miles north of the Atlantic Hotel. The Beatles and part of the crew were taken there for filming in the late
morning. Each of The Beatles was filmed looking through a telescope, but the scene did not make it into the final film.

Additionally, characters Ringo Starr`s Aunt Jessie (played by Jessie Robins) and Buster Bloodvessel (played by Ivor Cutler)
were filmed having a romantic moment on the beach, after stepping off the bus and making their way down the stairs to the
beach. However, the scene was cut off by the BBC when it was broadcast in December 1967, due to the decision that it was
unsuitable for viewers.After lunch at the Atlantic Hotel, afternoon filming took place in two separate groups.John Lennon,
assisted by George Harrison, directed a sequence at the hotel where Happy Nat the Rubber Man (played by Nat Jackley) chased bikini-clad women around the swimming pool.

They then moved to the Huer`s Hut, a fisherman`s lookout from the 14th century, which overlooks the sea. However, none of
John`s sequences made it into the final film, except for a two-second appearance of a girl in a bikini. The "Nat`s Dream"
sequence was included as a bonus feature on the "Magical Mystery Tour" reissue in 2012.Meanwhile, Paul McCartney and Ringo
Starr took the coach and most of the passengers to Porth. On the journey, Ringo and Aunt Jessie ad-libbed an argument for the cameras.

In the late afternoon, on the beach at Porth, McCartney was filmed walking and cycling on a tandem with Little George the
Photographer (played by George Claydon). The tandem belonged to Sylvia Brice from Plymouth, who took her bike to Newquay on the
roof rack of the taxi sent to fetch it by The Beatles.Footage on Adam Bounds reconstruction is a mix of the feature film plus all the available outtakes.
