The Beatles performed three songs during their first of three appearances on Ready, Steady, Go!
Broadcast on the ITV network, initially just in London, RSG! was British television's leading pop music show at the time. The 4 October 1963 episode was broadcast live, with the performers miming to their hits, a typical situation for the time.
The show was recorded at Television House on London's Kingsway. During the afternoon The Beatles rehearsed for the cameras, and recording took place from 6.15pm onwards.
The Beatles mimed to Twist And Shout, I'll Get You and She Loves You, and were interviewed by Dusty Springfield and host Keith Fordyce. The episode was transmitted from 6.15-7pm.
The performance of She Loves You was repeated on RSG! on 8 November 1963, and the full set was shown again during a special New Year show on 31 December.
