I have a copy of the Big night out. There was an overdubbed segment of it used on the Beatles T.V. anthology.
There was also a clip of the Morecambe and Wise show on the Anthology and presume the whole episode exists in full.
The titles from Lucky Stars could come from the Merseybeat edition that has been discussed on the forum.
It mentions a 3hr tape but there is no way it would be filled by the above things.

it wont be the big night out 64, thats the missing one, it only exists in Audio form from a very high quaility private recording Well, just to muddy the waters, I downloaded a video clip from usenet that purports to be "Mike and Bernie Winter's Big Night Out" from 23rd February 1964. It features performances of All My Loving / I Wanna Be Your Man / Till There Was You / Please Mr Postman / I Want To Hold Your Hand, all performed in front of a giant heart-shaped union jack with "GEORGE" written on one side and "RINGO" on the other (no Paul or John, maybe the other two were feeling left out...) There's also a couple of sketches, one where the band are searched at customs only to find their suitcases full of money, and another where the Beatles + Mike and Bernie play an imaginary band trying to think up a name for themselves ("Let's call ourselves Cilla Black!"). Oh, and the band are driven to the studio in a vintage car at the beginning. I can't remember if any of this is featured in Anthology, although there's so much featured in that series that it might be for all I know. But it's obviously not off-air, as the ads are replaced by "insert commercial here" markers. Is this the one that's supposed to be missing or something else instead? (The choice of songs certainly suggests 1964-era.)

The Big Night Out from 29th February 1964 does survive - an extract from it is included in anthology - it's the bit with the Beatles bursting through the wall of Mike and Bernie's flat - who holds the intact print I couldn't possibly say, but it's presumably Apple.I have an incomplete 16mm copy edited down to remove most non-beatles material which is also now held by the BFI as they were not sure if the Lionel Blair bits were held by Apple

And the bursting through the wall bit at the start is there too, I'd forgotten that was also in Anthology.

No my copy does include the lionel blair bit as well as one of the other two guest artists from the show - hence why the BFI took a copy - in case the copy apple had access to consists solely of the Beatles segments.
the other beatles related segments on my copy include John reading out letters and the lionel blair dancers doing a dire beatles inspired dance number.
