I’ve recently found The Beatles on ‘Big Night Out’ on YT.
Interestingly, I see there are two versions available to view. One is sourced from VT and I guess is the version as would have been seen in the Uk.
The other is sourced from film and rather than being a straight copy, the sketches have changed order, ad breaks inserted at different places ( two breaks instead of the UKs one) the first sketch starts halfway through and the bit where the Beatles arrive at Teddington by boat is dubbed in the film version.
Then the end titles are different too.
I’ve never seen the full show before and now two different versions appear at the same time. Anyone have any info on how these two versions came about? Was this done because they realised they could sell the show abroad as it was The Beatles or was this standard practice with ‘Big Night Out’. I think I’m right in saying that the Beatles had just returned from the Ed Sullivan Show when this was recorded.
