It looks as though they have, Matt. I'm not sure of the duration of the version transmitted in 1968, but it was 55 minutes long when repeated in 1977 as part of "Festival 50" (in a 60 minute slot to accommodate a short, sneering introduction from Rene Cutforth.)
BBC4 have allotted the programme a 50 minute slot.
Jim.

The 1968 transmission had a duration of 55'24"; the 1977 repeat was 55'22" plus 1'32" introduction making a total of 56'54"; the repeat this weekend is planned to be 55'22" but that may change...

Performers include Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Donovan, Cream, Pink Floyd, plus others.
However, this is not a straightforward music programme, and includes scenes that you may find disturbing.

I found it a bit disappointing - very disjointed and difficult to understand what exactly the 'narrative thrust' was. I think most of the rock bits I'd seen before - certainly the Hendrix one is quite common. The 'disturbing' bits were a mixture of clips I'd seen before, but not often eg the Vietcong suspect getting shot in the head very matter of factly, and the burning monk, but also some I hadn't seen, for example the concentration camp burial detail. What exactly they added to the narrative is a matter of opinion. Mine is, they didn't.

What exactly they added to the narrative is a matter of opinion. Mine is, they didn't. It was produced during the chaos that was 1968, it was all being played out at the time. I don’t think you were meant to make any sense of it. It was just a TV ‘happening’. Had I not known what to expect I’d have been very disappointed to find the musical performances interrupted as often as they were. But taking it for what it was, a snapshot of pop at it’s most intense set against the backdrop of the Vietnam war and Student protest, I thought it was an awesome film. My only regret was that Paul and Ringo were the Beatles chosen to be interviewed, I’d have preferred the other two who would usually have something more lucid to say, but I assume they were still in India at the time. McCartney’s Apple Proteges Grapefruit were a curious inclusion, perhaps they were given air-time on the basis that McCartney agreed to appear in the film. The choice of other artists to be included was faultless. |

The Fabs recorded the scrappy Hey Bulldog track (at Abbey Rd naturally, 11/02/68) during the filming session of the Lady Madonna promo, with United Artists rushing them to complete the Yellow Sub soundtrack. The afternoon would then fulfill their UA contract, and provide accompaniment to their soon-to-be-released single (when cut and edited). According to one Beatles site, the Palmer interview footage was shot on 15/05 and 03/11/68 (McCartney and Starr respectively, I think), much later than the Lady/Bullfrog filming (the promo had been shown on Top Of The Pops, 14/03 and 04/04/68), so probably bought in for AML. (NB: The Lady Madonna version that was shown in the 90s (1993's MTV's Beatles weekend, etc) was in a terrible condition (though the weekend's endlessly-repeated Something promo, from memory, was far superior to the Anthology extracts). I believe the Hey Bulldog promo (pristine by comparison) was premiered, in the UK at least, on TOTP2 (13/10/99, a month after they broadcast the "rediscovered" animated version, on 15/09/99). Why it wasn't on MGM's Yellow Sub DVD I'll never know, but then, why weren't uncut versions on Anthology...) Blah, blah, blah... PS: Anyone know why the middle 20mins of AML were of such dire, scratched (and zoomed-in?) quality in comparison to its surrounds, which were quite wonderfully fresh-looking? |

The footage that was shot was Hey Bulldog. Later for the featurette/video,the Lady Madonna soundtrack was overlaid onto it..
The Hey Bulldog video was on American TV in 1999,the debut obn ABC's 20/20 which had the 20/20 commentators talking over the bulk of it.
