I think you might be right on that first stump I researched the video I found that the little root stump was actually a detached limb that must have fallen off the higher branches

I really enjoyed your story telling Mr Smith, Thank you!!. Would love it if you did some more spooky vids. You have a lovely calm and soothing voice..could listen to you for hours. Kind Regards Lisa N/W England.

Thank you so much for this nostalgic trip. It has been a few years since I visited. Beautiful place. I purchased a neck strap to hold my carers id badge. All around it were the words.....(yes, you've guessed it)...."I am not a number, I am a free man". Ideal message for being just a number........Ahem!!!.........sorry, I mean a carer. Strange seeing your video as I have been watching over the last few days the great Patrick McGoohan in his last major role as evil King Edward I (Longshanks) in 'Braveheart'. He was the best ever, a total class act. Thank you again.

As you and others have said, it's a brilliant that he was eventually recognised via Anthology 1 and got a decent sum of money from it. It's a shame he wasn't able to forge his own meaningful career in the music industry. Maybe it was a bit ambitious to form his own band post Beatles? Given the proliferation of Merseybeat groups that came in the wake of the Beatles, shouldn't he just have joined one or other of these groups as a drummer? Or perhaps there were no takers because he wasn't that good in reality. He seems like a very amiable guy and he was treated rather shabbily when he was removed from the group. My feeling is that he was recruited in haste purely out of expediency and that he just didn't really fit in with the others, whereas Ringo did and was an ace drummer also.

Tude PPM was #1 in the 3 big northern charts but the London chart , they used on 1, in those days was the smaller chart with half the number of samplings ! Pete Best's drumming was featured on the Anthology and may have even ended up on a few singles not sure. Yes some unusual Beatle songs were released post sixties some doing ok. Them lads had over 50 #1s around the world btw ! 🌈🤡

Great video, very entertaining and informative. FYI I believe it is spelt Lyall Mews. Cheers!

Mal Evans ?

In Tasmania we are 12 hours ahead of New York City so Lennon's murder was on December 9 here. As a 7 year old I do recall a distinct memory of the news flash coming across the TV screen and my parents reacting in disbelief. As a young school student the Christmas holidays would have just begun at that time. It wasn't long until I began endlessly playing my mothers copy of ' The Beatles greatest hits volume 1 ' A record that I still have in my collection to this day.

I'm pretty sure Elizabeth, going by the book, at least, wasn't attracted to Darcy until her trip to Derbyshire that August...

If it wasn’t for Pete Best, the Beatles would have not gone to Hamburg and other places where they worked hard every night and got their style… however they needed Ringo to complete the band to get to the next level. Pete Best there when they needed him.

I have a theory about the awkward kiss at the end. I saw a retrospective on the series where someone mentioned that they shot the scenes out of order and many of the later scenes were in fact shot first. It may well be that the kiss was filmed very early in the process before the actors were comfortable with each other.

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm from the US and it's soooo lovely to see the British countryside and filming locations.

Plus they recently found his old twelve string guitar and everyone who has tried to play one of those knows that three strings are always out of tune. 12 - 3 =9

When Mr Darcy looks out the window, he is supposed to be upstairs. The window that he looks out is clearly downstairs.

BRILLIANT! Thank you so much Tudor! We’ve really enjoyed all your Beatley videos! Bill&Cher. L.A. CA.

Spring onion was my no1 the sausage and tomato

Great video Tudor, thanks!Yes there is more to life than meets the eye! secrets!

A fascinating video Tudor I enjoyed this the connection with number nine is bizarre this is happening with my partner with number eight .

I could watch all 60 hours!

Another interesting video and food for thought.

Nikola Tesla claimed that if you know the truth of 3, 6, 9 you know the truth of the Universe. Watever that means.

Fab Viddy! The Time Thing Is A Reach. John Was In NYC. 9 Is A Great Number. ☮🤍🎹☀🌎

My 23rd birthday was 9th December 1980. As a Lennon fan I woke up to the horrible news from New York. It was not a happy birthday, needless to say.

One After 909, first appearance at the Cavern Club 9th Feb 1961, The Beatles signed the deal with EMI 9th May 1962. There are many, many more number 9 coincidences.

Another fab video!

Thought provoking. I always wondered about Revolution 9. Great opening graphic with the numbers. Some of this was a stretch but I'll give you artistic license. Love your posts.

09/01/1961 my birthday love numerology

Very interesting video!

Probably all started with no. 9 Newcastle Road in Liverpool ... visited it in 1987 when it was being refurbished, long before it eventually became famous...

Jane is homely in this version

Brilliant, Keith Smith, Dudley Sutton, Terence Rigby, Jeith Marsh, Colin Blakely

Im right there now 😎👍

We all know about the singles' EMI policy of the time. But have you ever thought about how the releasing of singles extracted by LPs (Help!, Eleanor Rigby, Something, etc.) fitted within that policy? I recall years ago while trying to explain this, I noticed that all those singles were released after (or in the same day of) the LP, so that could be one explanation - although also in that case people would be still paying for the same song twice! I was wondering whether you knew any other possible rationale. Thanks!

Hello and thanks a lot for those amazing videos! I have little hypothesis I would like to share: After hearing and reading the comments on the corridor walk with the dogs scene and then mr. Darcy reviving Lizzy’s piano scene, we see that the next day he gets up really early and seems streesed and nervous while getting dressed. He pays extreme attention to his clothes, and leaves in a hurry: he was on his way to propose to Lizzy again! wasn’t he?

Ringo was necessarily a better drummer than Pete, and that wasn't just George Martin's opinion. This was noticed by three other music professionals, and their experience made it clear that they would've to replace the drummer if they wanted to stay in business from any point of 1962 on - or use a studio musician for the records, keeping Pete only for the live performances. By Lennon and Harrison, Pete was doomed to be kicked out as soon as they found the right guy. George was conspiring to bring Ring in, and Lennon said in an interview that they were "pretty sick of Pete". Even though he was a hard worker as they were, Best was never good enough. First, he failed to impress Polydor German producer Bert Kaempfert during their very first recording session as The Beatles, in Hamburg, 1961. Kaempfert forced Pete to play with half the kit, just snare, hi-hat and cymbal, removing the toms and the bass drum, that's why they sound so raw on Tony Sheridan's My Bonnie single. Then they had that bad audition at Decca, in January 1962. Years later, sound engineer Mike Savage stated that if Decca had signed a contract, the studio wouldn't have used Pete as a drummer. Now this feedback cannot be that truthful, since it was said when Beatles were great and Decca had turned them down. However, still in 1962, they had a rehearsal at the EMI studio under the supervision of George Martin's assistant, Ron Richards. Regarding that session, Richards commented to Martin that the Beatles' drummer was "useless" (his word). Finally, after the second EMI session, the Beates faced George Martin's infamous verdict. Listening to that Love me do recording it's obvious that Pete had trouble keeping the tempo, and that he could only beat the bars and not much else. That was the end of the road for Pete. So many negative criticisms against your drumming from so many important players in this game would be more than enough for any band to deal with. They had to make a decision, and they just did it. For all the best reasons, Ringo proved to be better than Pete. He was the right guy for the Beatles.

Tudor: Hi. Released on this day(in the U.S.) "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". That would be cool to have one of the full size cardboard cutouts on the cover. Cheers! 🥨

Brilliant video

Did Alistair Taylor get a song writing credit?

KISS - Beth. Was a b side. The DJ's liked it and kept playing it instead. It became the biggest hit KISS had in America and was sung by their drummer. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

This is the first , and only, NEW Wings Lp I bought. Mainly because it was their last LP. I had purchased all the rest of their catalog well after their release date ;) I thought it was great then and still do now. The "Stone" usually wasn't friendly to Macca after the break up were they?

15:30 An interesting anecdote of the choice of Sonny Liston. Although the Beatles 1964 meeting with Muhammed Ali (then Cassius Clay) was well publicized (namely the iconic photo of the Fab Four all being knocked down in a row by one Ali punch) the Beatles had first gone to visit Liston, but were turned away. So I'm left to wonder if the inclusion of Liston on the album cover was a lingering longing (or a sardonic statement) they had over their attempt to meet Sonny (?)

Love me Do says 'Jaunary 5th' in the text. Yesterday went to #8 in 1976.

Due to an anomaly in the way sales were counted back then the album With the Beatles got to number 11 on the SINGLES chart in Britain. Very strange I know, but just another example of a band that broke every rule due to their gigantic popularity.

Rather lovely when his son Giles produced Now and Then.

When Harry married MM people started to call William, Kate, Harry MM the Fab Four I was totally offended, stating there could only be one Fab For 😅

Great fascinating videos ❤

Very nice video! What kind of camera do you use?

I did love Now and Then, particularly seeing John being mischievous was nostalgic but I was a bit put off by Ringo, who isn’t the greatest singer & his flashy tracksuit or whatever he was wearing. That’s why it’s not really a Beatles song but I did like the comedy bits with John.

I met him whilst still in sixth form at school. It was at his father’s house & it was a complete shock but he was lovely to me. Linda too.

I think Darling is a salute to Little Richard, I also think Paul sings Long Tall Sally brilliantly.
