Never-before-seen footage of The Beatles having fun behind-the-scenes
Cheeky new footage has emerged from the Australian National Film and Sound Archive of the Beatles goofing off in their dressing room before a 1965 BBC TV special, The Music of Lennon & McCartney.
Australian dancer and makeup artist, Dawn Swane, shot the video when she was working at Granada TV in Manchester, UK. She says the Fab Four began playing around with her camera while they sipped on champagne.
"I don't know if it was John or if it was Ringo but they took the camera off me and said, 'This is no way to use a camera' and they sort of jiggled it upside down and inside out a bit, and everybody was just mucking around," Swane told the NFSA. "But that was great. I mean they were a nice group of people. They really were."
