***** of course he's just smiling, he's in front of cameras being a professional. he wasn't just gonna turn around, kill the atmosphere and say 'well actually my mum was run down by a car when i was just getting to know her after a childhood of estrangement, and my father ran away before i was born and didn't want anything to do with me'. people in showbiz have to put on an Image, the more famous a person gets, the more we know of that person. everyone has things that they don't want everyone to know
Agreed Willie, check George's wonderfully dry quip when Dodd says the he would need to change his name to be a singer to something earthy like " Cliff or Rock", to which Harrison says "sod". Perfect! John was not the only witty, acerbic Beatle...
i adore this footage of John lennon such a great guy, footage of him later on was so much more serious with less humour and smiles. RIP John sadly missed!
Dave hawkins Well, hell, laddie! You can't leave out "Real" Paul!!! RIP Paul McCartney. He died in 1966. In a car crash. He blew his mind out in a car. He didn't notice that the light had changed. A crowd of ppl stood and stared. They'd seen his face before. His face was so mangled the 1st officer to arrive on the scene said he looked like a walrus. Too bad. So sad. Looks like Ringo gets the last laugh. He's the last man standing.
Who was funnier than lennon? I think his suffering made him so funny, plus he was just a natural born genious. He shows incredible charm along with his wit.
8:20 Great line! Of course, the Beatles were also very witty and intelligent. I can only imagine their gigs in Germany when they had to play all night. I'm sure there was plenty of clowning around on stage.
Awwww poor Paul and John... The looks on their faces when he asks about their mums and dads :'''( I wish I could jump through my phone and hug them :'(
Awe, when they ask if they have mums and dads in Liverpool, Paul and John just mumble, because they both lost their mothers at a young age. So cute when John says I've got a child to speak of.
Yeah this guy was a little on the insensitive side when he asked about family and you could tell that John and Paul were both very uncomfortable by their stammering and their body language and were just trying to look fine for the camera. I feel so bad for them..
Actually it's kind of touching watching Paul and John react to the question about "mum and dad." Paul kind of gestures back toward John like he's communicating, 'John and I really can't answer that.' (About 'mum' that, is.) Never seen this clip before. Thanks!
Great stuff, but you left out the best part (or is there a part 2?). Somewhere during this chat Ken Dodd is saying he wants to sing rock & roll, but he needs an earthy name like Cliff or Rock. George says, "How about Sod?" Ha, ha, payback for that "evil-smelling peasant" joke! They seem to have a lot of affection for Ken and vice versa.
This video is so funny and this is the second time I have seen the Beatles in a interview the more I whach this the more I laugh and I can not stop laugh thanks from the video Beatles I really appreciated it from Ella
Love both, a lot of Scouse jokes, Doddy was the only comedian who had such hysterical jokes I could crease up. As for the Beatles they will always be amongst the best.😎
I think the Beatles were delighted to meet fellow Liverpudlian Ken Dodd, and any other of the famous British comedians they admired in the sixties. Ken Dodd's humour is very similar to Lennon's Goonish wit. The only problem with it is that the chat goes on far too long and runs out of witty banter, which is why everyone in it ends looking embarassed; but that was the huge problem with unscripted live tv broadcasts.
It got awkward when the interviewer asked about how many of them had 'Mams' back in Liverpool - since both John's & Paul's mothers were dead at this point
samurai1999 Yes, it seems quite insensitive now, but I think that fact wasn't common knowledge, at the time, due to Brian keeping their family details out of the public domain (even John's marriage). Young guys in their early 20s would normally have mothers, and it was an incredible coincidence both lost their mothers before stardom, and around the same time.
Did anyone notice George's clever quip when Ken he'd need to change his name to be a singer to "something earthy like Cliff or Rock"? George, almost under his breath said "sod". Groucho Marx would have been proud of that one!
when the guy asks "you got mums?" paul has his mouth open and doesn't answer then when the guy says, "dads?' paul smiles and is like yeah. I love his smile there but its sad about the mum thing and when john says "all I have is friends"
I enjoyed this. It's about the only time I've laughed at (with) Ken Dodd. Whether it was scripted or ad-lib I don't know, but I rather fancy it was a kind of comedy jam session, and the Beatles did very well. It's not easy holding your own against a seasoned stand-up comic who can destroy you without even being nasty. My own impression - Paul said nothing, but sat there with a "look and learn" expression on his face. I may be wrong about that, but one thing the Beatles always did was learn.
Bill Grundy, "The Leader Of The Martians", was a TV presenter whose career was destroyed because, during a live interview with the Sex Pistols, he lost control of proceedings, and the Sex Pistols were able to use a number of very ripe "anglo saxon" words, on air during prime time, when the kiddies were watching.
nah. ken dodd is all fun. wouldnt hurt a fly. what you saw was respect from both sides. dodd talked aout jam butty mines and black pudding plantations with a straight mind.only a few years later did the boys write lucy and strawberry fields.
Hot damn, Lennon was just beautiful.
Omg yes! He was fine!
Yes, he definitely was!
gina gidaro Ditto, Tritto. Amen.
LottieSophie ikr
Heck yeah
it was a bit sad when they asked about 'have you got any mams or dads', being as john and paul lost theirs, and john never really knew his father
Dan Harrison King yes it was sad to see John was just smiling there...
***** of course he's just smiling, he's in front of cameras being a professional. he wasn't just gonna turn around, kill the atmosphere and say
'well actually my mum was run down by a car when i was just getting to know her after a childhood of estrangement, and my father ran away before i was born and didn't want anything to do with me'.
people in showbiz have to put on an Image, the more famous a person gets, the more we know of that person. everyone has things that they don't want everyone to know
Dan Harrison King yeah of course I understand that
Paul's mum died when he was about 14
+Dan Harrison King John never knew his father Freddie Lennon ? What happened to Freddie ?
George comes across as the witty one in this. He delivers his lines so well - "nails 'em" - as I believe they say in the business.
Agreed Willie, check George's wonderfully dry quip when Dodd says the he would need to change his name to be a singer to something earthy like " Cliff or Rock", to which Harrison says "sod". Perfect! John was not the only witty, acerbic Beatle...
"Have you got any children to speak of??"
"I've got one to speak of."
I love John's wit.
But please retort back. I have a 9 year old girl who knows the difference between Paul and John at least and a few songs@!!!!
Very rare to see that look of awe on John`s face: he is hanging on every word from the great Ken Dodd.
talking about his father. he would have had that expression.
George had such a distinctive laugh, it’s so cute
Ikr❤
"That's me, I'm a black pudding plantation." George Harrison, everyone
Ugh. Very awkward when he asked about moms and dads. I felt for John. Julia.
And Paul too
Yh both losing their mothers
Johns dad not being there until his later life
John:
Mum- dead
Dad- abandoned
Paul:
Mum-dead
Ringo:
Dad- dead

i just melted when george smiled. :)
Me too😻
i adore this footage of John lennon such a great guy, footage of him later on was so much more serious with less humour and smiles. RIP John sadly missed!
Rip George as well

Well, hell, laddie! You can't leave out "Real" Paul!!!
RIP Paul McCartney.

@@JoseGonzalez-fc6tl You actually believe that shit?? Oh my god.
True. I also noticed that too. With the beatles, John smiles a lot. Unlike when he had gone solo.
Jose Gonzalez Whereas you couldn’t blow your nose.
Best band of all time
kevin Pritchard this and nine inch nails
Without a doubt. 👍
John is my fav Beatle, but Paul just looks so freaking adorable sitting there with his innocent sweet some what confused face, lol. aaaww.
Who was funnier than lennon? I think his suffering made him so funny, plus he was just a natural born genious. He shows incredible charm along with his wit.
+Bernard Popp Hello, why did he suffer ? Suffer from what ?
Kezia and Brian too! It just seems that beath followed him everywhere :(
George is/was so adorable *o* His smile, damn...
Yeah he's cute
He is freaking adorable 🥰🤗
Yes he was❤
Agree he was so cute and funny ❤
"do you think that he owes a lot of his success to his hair style fellow's?" john, "no, i don't think it helped at all."
😂😂😂
Ringo is so cute and i love his nose
Me too
Me too
awww john, bless him was watching over paul when they talking about their mums :(((((
Ringo, John, George and Paul: really handsome guys! :)
LOL George
"I'd like to be a group"
"I'm a black pudding plantation"
Johns so adorable here! I love his smile.
57 years ago yesterday, Paul and John met for the first time. The rest is... Let's say, history
9:20 Paul's face :'(..... I wish I could comfort him there, that's gotta hurt :'(
Ikr 🥺
3:49 George said "you're finished" 🤣😂
"you tell a joke in Manchester , they don't get it in London : They can't hear it !"
xD Brilliant !
8:20 Great line! Of course, the Beatles were also very witty and intelligent. I can only imagine their gigs in Germany when they had to play all night. I'm sure there was plenty of clowning around on stage.

+Madi Sister That had to be hard, but I'm sure their moms were looking down with pride.
True!! :'( me too...
John had a sense of humour then Ono showed up and everything got serious and the laughter and joking was jettisoned.
8:58
Asked the Beatles if they all had mums and dads back in Liverpool. Poor John and Paul.
Ringo lost his dad to.
John’s just like “I have friends..”
It's so weird to see the boys so quiet lol usually they can't stop messing around being funny lol
OMG!! The funniest interview/sketch i've EVER seen with The Beatles!! Hilarious!!!!😂😅😄😁❤💗💖👍👍👍👍
1:37 McCartney doesn't know what to think...lol
9:00
Why the hell would you ask "How many of you have moms and dads"?
I feel so sorry for John and Paul.
oh come off it, he most likely didn't know that these young men had already lost parents at that point and it was a silly question.
John has the cuttest smile ever! They all do
I honestly like his nose it gives him a cute dopy look. :)
Mmmm...1:23! John is soo freaking cute! I love his smile!! Makes me melt ;)
8.59 when dodd mentions his 'mam'. both john and paul deal with it admirably, considering they both lost their mams. God bless 'em.
Awe, when they ask if they have mums and dads in Liverpool, Paul and John just mumble, because they both lost their mothers at a young age. So cute when John says I've got a child to speak of.
What about the noses?
*everyone looks at ringo*

Paul's smile is driving me crazy! He melts my heart!
Yeah this guy was a little on the insensitive side when he asked about family and you could tell that John and Paul were both very uncomfortable by their stammering and their body language and were just trying to look fine for the camera. I feel so bad for them..
What time was it when he said it?
John Anderson around 9:00 ....
.....not that you’ll probably care anymore
It is sad though because Lennon just goes
“I got friends...”
I love whenever the Beatles smile! ^^ There's always Gooday Sunshine when I see them smile!
"I have an LP: Large Pimple" I'm GONE
i love paul's feminine way of sitting.
Actually it's kind of touching watching Paul and John react to the question about "mum and dad." Paul kind of gestures back toward John like he's communicating, 'John and I really can't answer that.' (About 'mum' that, is.)
Never seen this clip before. Thanks!
George FTW at the end with the funniest line !
lol, Gay's got some Robert Pattinson hair goin' on.

9:06 so much pain 9:16 paul had a still born.....
I don't think i've ever seen these guys smile that much in this type of setting.
This is so funny! It has a classic comedy thing going on and I love it!! :D
This guy made all the BEATLES laugh!!

So funny, Ken Dodd, The Beatles and the Liverpool humour. Love it.
John:

And also Ringo's dad didn't die he left the family when Ringo as 5 poor Ringy :(

Ringo said when he was 3.
Everyone: Ringo has the biggest nose ever
Squidward: am I a joke to you?
Awww they all look so adorable in this!!! But then throughout the next couple years they went from adorable to straight up sexy.
6:04
"I'm an LP - the Large Pimple" (^c^)"
How ironic, Ken Dodd asking the Beatles about THEIR hairstyles.....
When the host brought up there parents and asked who he'd mums and dads I almost started crying poor John and Paul
i'm in love with thingy..
THE MOMS AND DADS OH MY GOD N O
IM SO FUCKING SAD I'LL CRY
So funny, Ken Dodd, The Beatles and the Liverpool humour. Love it!
Paul is so cute (he's always cute !) ♥♥♥

I would love to see that. I wonder if anyone knows where it is?
He means George Harrison. You know, the Quiet Beatle.
one of the reasons john is a great man is because when you bring up a sad thing he can always keep his beautiful smile :)
This video is so funny and this is the second time I have seen the Beatles in a interview the more I whach this the more I laugh and I can not stop laugh thanks from the video Beatles I really appreciated it from Ella
Yeah, whenever he smiles, just sing Here Comes The Sun. Even though it's sung by George. It might be the reason why he sung it and not John :)
its missing the sod line from George which was hilarious
Love both, a lot of Scouse jokes, Doddy was the only comedian who had such hysterical jokes I could crease up.
As for the Beatles they will always be amongst the best.😎
Aw I feel so bad for John and Paul when they started talking about their parents D:
@shadowthedemoniccat haha, i know right? i love their old hair cuts, suits, etc. in synced adorableness.
im in love with george! ♥ :)
Who isn't? 🥰
I love him too ❤

Yes I agree, and the interviewer didn't know how to ask intelligent questions so it was really left to Ken Dodd to keep things running.

It was interesting, though, how John and Paul referenced their mothers in some of their songs, but not their fathers, (or have I got that wrong?)
@@SuperNevile Let me just say this, there are no coincidences.
This my day! Thanks a lot. I love George he was funny "Thats me im a black pudding plantation!".
Left out the BEST line. Ken wants an "earthy name" like Cliff or Rock. George suggests "SOD" XD
i turned on the captions and nearly died laughing. you tube you in accurate shit. where would we be without you. XD
Ken Dodd very funny. The Beatles enjoyed this banter.
This is so funny! The Beatles forever!
oh gawd my Ringo! ! i love him!!!
they all have such great smiles :D
