About this episode

In February 1968, the Beatles deviated from their plan to mime along to Lady Madonna and instead recorded a new song, Hey Bulldog, at EMI Studios. The band, on a recording streak, filmed the song and edited it to match Lady Madonnas tempo. The promo, featuring George Harrison eating beans, aired on BBCs Top of the Pops without viewers noticing the switch.
