From Me To You
Thank You Girl
Please Please Me
This was The Beatles' first appearance on a BBC Television show. Future BBC reporter Miranda Ward was present at the taping: "I first met the band on Saturday April 13th in 1963 at the recording of a BBC TV programme called The 625 Show, compered by Jimmy Young, which gave national exposure for new artists. I was at the show with another friend giving her moral support."
A scheduled personal appearance at a football club dance this evening at the Uppermill Civic Hall was cancelled.
