    This is cool! It's like they inspired many and immediately had to sprint out the building through secret tunnels

      Thanks for saying so. I’ve always felt the tunnel episode was under-reported in local history. One day someone will say, that alone should have justified listed building status! (Me probably)

    Fascinating. I was there 11 years old. Dragged along by my big brother on mother’s orders! We lived in Plympton at the time, and went down to the Plymouth road to try and get a glimpse of their car going by....and to find out they were playing around in the car park of the Lyneham , a Plympton pub...LOL! Happy days✌️

      That’s where my report begins, yes. You saw that at the time!? Wow! Today you would have to try reasonably hard to find your way to that spot, but at the start of the 60s evidently it would’ve been kind of hard to avoid for travellers going in and out of the peninsula... Is that right?

    • @snafujag100
      @snafujag100 3 роки тому +2

      @@neilgallacher4793 Correct. The A38 Plympton by -pass effectively put the pub on a back road! Also, you are spot on about the screaming! We were 4 or 5 rows back from stage right.. Paul... could not here a thing✌️

    The older guy who appears around 1:26 is a bizarre combo of Bill Wyman and (speach-wise) Woody Allen!

      ...and the coat is definitely Beatles style...John and Paul both sported a variation.
      I believe it came in another color combination besides green and black.

      Ha! Yes. It is, or was, a slightly spooky old-fashioned cinema. Atmospheric at least. We didn’t light it that way for effect. That’s just how it was! I liked it myself.

      “Luxury sedan or saloon car generally driven by a chauffeur”.
