Twickenham Film Studios, 4th September 1968. On this day The Beatles filmed promotional films for "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" at Twickenham Film Studios. They arrived at the studios at 1.30pm and worked until evening. The set, at the studio's stage one, had been assembled over the previous three days. Only The Beatles' lead and backing vocals were recorded live, although instruments and amplifiers were set up. The Musicians' Union had placed a ban on miming, and the live vocals were attempt to hide this. The completed films - two for each song, both in colour - were directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, whom had worked with The Beatles on the clips for "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" in 1966. Before starting to play "Hey Jude", The Beatles improvided this little number, sung by John Lennon to David Frost.
