I looked in here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/mersey/ (http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/mersey/)

Although there's some nice stuff in there, I didn't find what you're looking for.

I'd never heard of it either.

This seems to be some clips of it here ...
The Beatles - Recording Session at EMI Studios (26/27-02-1964) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvqPj9rZKM0#)

A lot of stuff I have seen before - used in Anthology and for a couple of promo videos etc, but I never knew that Richard Lester had filmed it.

I'd love to see the whole thing. John is so funny at the beginning: "I feel as though I'm singing in a sock".  ha2ha
