The BBC's only released audio so far. The film may need restoring; apparently it was found in a rusting canister in a damp garage:

Magical mystery of Beatles footage
Published Date: 06 July 2008

IT WAS a lost moment in the history of the greatest pop band the planet has ever seen. The Beatles' first full television interview was given in Glasgow as the Fab Four began their rise to worldwide fame. The interview was recorded at the Theatre Royal studios of Scottish Television in Glasgow on April 30, 1964. It was broadcast only once and only in Scotland, on May 5, on a children's teatime TV programme called Roundup.

And then it was lost. Fans, archivists and historians knew the group had done the interview, but almost no one had seen it.

Now, more than 40 years later, it can be revealed that the interview has turned up in a rusty can in a London garage.

And Scottish Television, which still owns the copyright, is planning how and when to broadcast the lost Beatles interview.

"It is really important and it is amazing that it has turned up," said Jamie Bowman of the Beatles Story museum in Liverpool. "Interviews with them are quite rare anyway. They would perform or they would play up for the cameras rather than sit down and do a serious interview. We were aware of it. It was just one of those things that were presumed lost. It's a huge find."

Fans and historians were taken completely by surprise when extracts from the nine-minute interview were broadcast on Radio 4 last week.

Scottish Television is in talks with Richard Jeffs, a television researcher, who unearthed the footage. Both parties are tight-lipped about exactly how the interview was discovered and what happens next.

A spokeswoman said: "I can confirm that Scottish Television owns the copyright of this footage
