 The Beatles (qv) make a cameo appearance on a 1965 episode called  "The Chase", in which theyre seen on a time scanner performing  "Ticket to Ride" on _"Top of the Pops" (1964)_ (qv). Originally, the  plan was to have the actual musicians appear as old men, but the  idea was vetoed by Beatles manager Brian Epstein (I) (qv).  Ironically, the live footage used in the episode is all that remains  of this performance, as the episode of Top of the Pops it was taken  from was erased.
