You made a Beatles fan very happy. Really enjoyed that excursion. Loved the Magical Mystery Tour movie and most likely I will never visit those sites so I thank you for giving us that opportunity !
This was very interesting, and I learned a lot about the behind the scenes story of the making of this television project. It was fun to see the filming locations, now more than half a century later.
Wonderful! Video. Magical Mystery Tour, The Film And The EP/Album Is Probably My Favourite Era Of The Beatles. There Is A Innocent Goofy Joyfulness To It All That Makes It So Endlessly Endearing.
Tudor Smith: thanks for posting. On this day(September 15) in 1967 The Beatles and their Magical Mystery Tour cohorts stopped at Smedley's(Fish & Chip Shop) in Taunton, Somerset. Cheers!🥨
Had to stop the live feed early, and just finished! As usual, Tudor a fabulous video! Fish & Chips is a staple go-to fast food for me here in the states as well! “Ah, Smedly! That’ll be 8 doubles to go for the four of us!” BTW, gave you a shout out in my latest!👍😃
Tudor .. This is absolutely fabulous!!! Thank you so much for putting this together. Cornwall can be proud along with Liverpool and London in contributing to the Beatles story. Thanks again for doing a part 2 as requested.I look forward to following the links you kindly attach…..Steve
It took my longer than all the other videos I created but I really enjoyed travelling in the Beatles footsteps! The links are a fascinating read. Make sure to check out the Victor Spinetti video on RUclips if you get a chance. It's really good
@@TudorSmith Thank you Tudor. I have really enjoyed all the Beatle docs you have compiled (even your Deal road trip, as we have friends down there) As a fan you get to read a lot about Liverpool and London however the Cornwall venture has always been a bit of a “mystery” . I knew little bits but your doc opened my eyes to so many new ventures. So again thank you so very much for taking the time to create this. I will certainly follow the links you kindly recommend. I will also keep a close eye on your other ventures. How about a Mull of Kintyre 45th anniversary visit. 🏴 😀
I absolutely adore these videos! Maybe we’re all sad Beatle nerds but I love the content and your bubbly personality is infectious. Thank you for making them. They are an absolute delight to watch.
Thanks again Tudor for this latest instalment of another great Beatles package. You have put a fair bit of work into this and it’s really appreciated. Time to rewatch the movie again 😊
This is great !!Love love love the Beatles !!!!Just a bit of trivia for my eighth birthday was taken to our lical drive in to see A Hard Days.Night !! This.was 1965. Best night ever.!!
Well done, Tudor! Very detailed video as always with lots of information I wasn’t aware of. I’m sure it took quite a long time and a lot of driving across the south west of England!
Brilliant Tudor 👏 👏 love to see the original locations, especially Ringo and Aunt Jessie and Jolly Johnston, super special for us real Beatle nuts and a splendid time was had by all...😊👍🎶
Brilliant Tudor. Well done. It takes a big effort to do something like this and I certainly appreciate it. You have such a lovely, convivial presentation. Love it. I hope your grand daughters enjoyed it too.!! Are you still doing a second Liverpool trip? Hope so. Best wishes and many thanks.👍😄
It was great hanging out with the family for a few days and the girls were happy to be in the video! Liverpool pt2 is next on the agenda once I’ve completed my Pride & Prejudice filming locations lol
marvellous. Love watching your videos, watching from Melbourne, Australia - I'm 32 now, when I was 17 I went on my own to Liverpool, London (and other areas of UK) did all the Beatles stuff but none of the offiical tours, I wanted to do it on my own, with space and time to take it all in. Somehow made it around to several spots in Liverpool. Lots of sore feet! I knew how you were feeling on the London walk tour you did!
Excellent as always ! Cornwall was a destination that would have been fantastic to visit while in England. There are SO many places to visit. Yorkshire, Wales & Scotland also beckoned ! Have 2 of the MMT documentaries, the one with Victor Spinetti & a radio show on the filming. Again, thank you for your fabulous insightful programs ! Now for some fish & chips. Cheers !
Do you have the titles of the MMT documentaries? And perhaps the directors or producers? I have been looking all over for "Magical Mystery Tour Revisted" DVD by the BBC/PBS for the North American region.
As a beatles fan i really love 1967 Beatle stuff like sgt pepper and magical mystery tour And I am glad you gave us some info about it! :) Keep beatling/rocking!
Thank you very much for your brilliant work, Tudor! I again enjoyed your fascinating video. Much appreciated. You made me keen on taking this trip myself
Thank you Peter. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take the trip, you won't be disappointed. Perhaps unlike me, you could plan it for a longer time and maybe stay over at each location (apart from the bridge ha ha).
There’s a blue plaque on the wall outside the kebab shop on west malling high street in Kent, that was used as the ticket office on the magical mystery tour
Great stuff! Surprisingly the Phoenix Chinese still has the exact same chrome range and fryers that were in the movie - well they where still there in 2013.
It was northern thing in the postwar years and upto the 1970s for social clubs to organise bus trips out for members and pensioners, which usually ended up at the coast. It was free and lunch and free beer for adults was provided. Quite often they would be advertised as mystery trips and last just one day... coming from the north east it was common during Easter and summer holidays. This may be the premise for the film. Excellent videos, luv them.
Thanks for the video. I was in Newquay in 2017 but didn't realise the strong connection the Beatles had with Cornwall via Magical Mystery Tour. I will have to return!
@@TudorSmith I hear you! I did Bournemouth to Devon to Cornwall and back in 2 days! I’m from Australia and never planned to do a magical mystery tour of my own but it ended up that way.
This is brilliant. It must have taken you a long time to research and plan all of this, then to shoot and present it, and to edit the footage with the stills and photos. I'm in the camp which says that MMT is a fascinating curio, and my life is better because it exists. A great period peace, and... well, more Beatles on film. I love it.
Yeah that one took a lot of planning…and driving. But it satisfied my curiosity about the film and having now visited the places, it makes the “rockumentary” all that more interesting to me!
Again such an amazing video Tudor. These should be on BBC 4. Have you thought about checking out Ailisa avenue …maybe trying to find the man hole cover.? I’ve checked it on google maps and convinced it’s still there .
Shame you skipped the Beatles stop in basingstoke, was looking forward to hearing what you had to say about their visit after finding you tagged the town and an article, oh well
I did the Pied Piper...isn't that in Basingstoke or is it classed as Winchester? I didn't realise there was more in Basingstoke! I'll have to dig a bit deeper.
That was great. I think I watched the Victor Spinetti doc some years ago. That and your video are more entertaining than the original movie! (Apart from the music that is). You must have done a lot of research to get the exact locations. I remember as a 10 year old watching the original movie on Boxing Day 1967. All the grown ups were scornful. "What a load of rubbish!" etc etc. I watched it again when the BBC ran it about 10 years ago and I must say I was nonplussed, even as an ardent fan. It was the first Beatles flop. An example maybe of McCartney hubris, thinking they could wing it without any set plan or script? But the music was fab, of course.
Hi Tudor, what a wonderful service you are doing for us Beatle fans who maybe can't get to these places, i am thrilled to bits, your videos are terrific. Have you considered a Bangor reportage? Best Wishes and God Bless my friend.
@@TudorSmith Well, Tudor, come to think of it, there wouldn't be a great deal to report, they stayed at Bangor Normal College, went to a Chinese restaurant, and on the Sunday received the devastating news by phone that Brian Epstein had died. It was the beginning of the end, but Bangor locals are so proud to have the link with the greatest group of all time.
Aww I thought you had someone helping you film, sweet little mascots, good sports! Now was that Homebase or Home Bargains 🤭 Anyway good to see you having fun 🤩
Always enjoy your little films. Iam a massive Fbas fan and have done many of your tours myself over the years. The Fish n Chip shop is in Taunton Somerset (Where i live) why didnt you mention this in your film?...
Tudor Smith: Hello. Looking forward to 11/2/2023? You should be. That's the release date for The Beatles song "Now & Then". Do you think I could get a a hard copy of it(cd)? Or will it be streaming only. Cheers!🥨
After the "Archway" in Bodmin they stopped in Paul Road by the "Fair Park" before heading for Newquay. I had an ex-girlfriend who was a 4 year old at the time and her claim to fame is that Paul McCartney picked her up while talking to her mother and others. The Fair Park is about a mile from where you filmed.
Ah yes! When I started investigating for the video Fair Park was in the agenda. I seem to have lost it in the production though! Nice story about your ex girlfriend 👍
@@TudorSmith Her Mum told me when we first started seeing each other,to be honest I was a bit dubious about it as ,amazingly, I lived there from 1974 until 1980 and I never heard anyone else talk about the Beatles being in the town let alone making part of a film there. Only decades later did I find the Fair Park mentioned as somewhere they'd stopped,all of maybe 200 yards from where my girlfriend and her family lived. I even had local friends who had lived in and around Paul Road for most of their lives that never mentioned it. The West End Dairy was still as it would have been when the Beatles visited it when I was there.
Great 👍 now I have another one has not do with this but the back cover of Abbey Road nobody’s ever showed it on RUclips nobody will ever do it I know the words aren’t there anymore but the location is still there have you film that one thanks again 👍
I visited Abbey Road in my first London Tour. I thought I’d found the spot where the back cover of the album was taken but someone mentioned that it was further up the road and was longer there as the road had been redeveloped
Against all common belief, A short Script of close to 20 Pages was in fact written. How do I know,you may ask-because I own a copy of the original script as well as the first Pie Chart diagram-Not the later well known one , shown by Ringo, but the first version a simpler Pie Chart also drawn up by Paul.
@TudorSmith love the videos. I'm a beatles nut. Eldest daughter 32 is called Abbey after Abbey Road. I intend to follow your route on beatles London 1 trip in May. At mo I'm buying all the usa versions of the albums. You get some interesting bits of beatles talking on some on the us albums in-between tracks
Hi Tudor, with ref to your previous answer. You might want to remove the movgottv link as it was taking me to a lot of sign in adverts then eventually a porn site!! I'll buy a DVD instead. I haven't seen MMT since that first broadcast so thank you very much for this, and your other excellent Beatles related videos.
I did a Car Tax check on the .GOV website and it states that the last date of the logbook (V5) is 23 March 1989 and the last time it was taxed was 1 December 1989. I found this online: The Hard Rock Cafe acquired the actual Magical Mystery Tour bus in 1988 and it is the single biggest piece of rock n’ roll memorabilia they own. It took four months, 2,000 man-hours and a cost of $100,000 for Hard Rock to completely refurbish the bus using vintage parts to replicate the original designs and details. The bus is stored in the Hard Rock Cafe warehouse and is put on display for special occasions. The Hard Rock Cafe offered the bus years ago as a prize in an Internet sweepstakes but apparently the winner chose the cash alternative so the bus remains with Hard Rock Cafe as Beatles memorabilia.
At the risk of promoting online videos...and Apple not making any money from purchases, I'm pretty sure you can pick up the DVD from eBay. Not sure how long it will be available to watch online but I'll pop a link in the description of the video!
@@TudorSmith What about the marvelous BBC/PBS documentary, "Magical Mystery Tour Revisited" from 2012? The DVD is out of print. Do you know where I can get a copy? It's really a marvelous bit of history, with wonderful commentary by several musicians, artists and critics, which brings MMT into focus.
@@TudorSmith I’m just having some fun with you. Money doesn’t grow on trees. I really appreciate your videos as I have never been there and in all likelihood, never will…thanks!
Thank you for the video! Hey, what on earth could have been deemed inappropriate by the BBC between Aunt Jessie in 1967? Didn't they allow semi--nudity around that time? Not that I want to see Aunt Jessie in her birthday suit 😧🙄😂
@@TudorSmith I loved The Beatles. I had every EMI or APPLE label studio album. And several compilation LP's. I had acquired a couple of original Decca and Vee-Jay 45's from a girl in high school 1977. Those disappeared some time after, pity, I've seen what they are worth now. The Albums were stolen much later. Shame. My favorite albums are #1 Abbey Road #2 & #3 are actually -to me- one album in 2 parts, and they are: Sgt. Pepper & Myst'ry Tour. And then the White lp, and Rubber Soul after. I do enjoy your videos. Phil, in Tucson, AZ 😎
Thanks Phil. Yeah I did a little eBay search on the veejay singles and they are going for a pretty Penny eh? I think you’re right about Sgt Pepper and MMT. Could have been a double album 👍
Yes, Yes, this is the pointless utter nonsense that we want. Utter glorious drivel. But a work of National importance.😉. Are you Lewiston’s Uncle Cuthbert?

Thank you for watching…and commenting. It’s nice hearing a Beatle fan enjoy the locations videos 😊
Sir Tudor you were right on time!! Delivering me..trip of my lifetime ! Thank you
So glad you made the trip in time. No one wants to miss the bus!
Very interesting to see these places in present day. Thanks for doing this and telling the stories behind the places.
I think we’d all like things to stay the same sometimes. It’s good to see the places though!
This was very interesting, and I learned a lot about the behind the scenes story of the making of this television project. It was fun to see the filming locations, now more than half a century later.
Wonderful! Video. Magical Mystery Tour, The Film And The EP/Album Is Probably My Favourite Era Of The Beatles. There Is A Innocent Goofy Joyfulness To It All That Makes It So Endlessly Endearing.
Yes, that's right. McCartney emphasis on spontaneity made the film great. Alas, it also had a half-baked quality.
Tudor Smith: thanks for posting. On this day(September 15) in 1967 The Beatles and their Magical Mystery Tour cohorts stopped at Smedley's(Fish & Chip Shop) in Taunton, Somerset. Cheers!🥨
This very day! Amazing.
2:20 …
ironic a bus drives by 😊 great video as usual 👍
I know I right! I missed a trick by not mentioning it!
I absolutely love your coverage of the Beatles! Watch them over and over!
Thank you 🙏 Glad you like them!
This video is actually more enjoyable to watch than the actual Magical Mystery Tour movie.
Ha that’s saying something.
🤣
Another amazing video Tudor! Some of the best content on all of youtube !
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Had to stop the live feed early, and just finished! As usual, Tudor a fabulous video!
Fish & Chips is a staple go-to fast food for me here in the states as well!

Cornwall is always worth a visit but it’s even more special if you’re chasing the Beatles 👍
Superb video, thank you. I love this kind of Beatles content.
Cheers
Great video Tudor , love your Beatles videos, love looking at places then and now. Thanks very much for these videos.
My pleasure!
FANTÁSTICO.. I LICKED. AND VERY FRIENDLY AND BEAUTIFUL REPORTER
Thanks again Tudor for this latest instalment of another great Beatles package. You have put a fair bit of work into this and it’s really appreciated. Time to rewatch the movie again 😊
Thanks Paul. The movie is definitely worth a re-watch. And now you know about the locations, you might spy a few of them in the actual film :-)

Same as me then - I’ve visited family down there over the years and didn’t realise the iconic connection!
Great Video…..I missed you by 2 weeks. I was in Newquay from 12th to 25th March!
Really enjoy all your videos ... thank you for sharing Beatles history with us all ... ✌️❤️🎶

Excelent job Mr Smith! Wowww this was an incredible tour and magical for me.
¡Greetings from Mérida México!
Glad you liked it 👍
I visited the bridge, Newquay and Plymouth sites a few weeks ago. Your footage/ overlays/ info are brilliant. I missed Taunton and Perranporth.

I did a Car Tax check on the .GOV website and it states that the last date of the logbook (V5) is 23 March 1989 and the last time it was taxed was 1 December 1989. I found this online:
The Hard Rock Cafe acquired the actual Magical Mystery Tour bus in 1988 and it is the single biggest piece of rock n’ roll memorabilia they own. It took four months, 2,000 man-hours and a cost of $100,000 for Hard Rock to completely refurbish the bus using vintage parts to replicate the original designs and details. The bus is stored in the Hard Rock Cafe warehouse and is put on display for special occasions.
The Hard Rock Cafe offered the bus years ago as a prize in an Internet sweepstakes but apparently the winner chose the cash alternative so the bus remains with Hard Rock Cafe as Beatles memorabilia.
@@TudorSmith that would be worth seeing

Tudor, could you or anyone else let me know whether MMT is available to stream and/or are the DVDs you see on Amazon the real deal? Thankyou 😊
At the risk of promoting online videos...and Apple not making any money from purchases, I'm pretty sure you can pick up the DVD from eBay.
Not sure how long it will be available to watch online but I'll pop a link in the description of the video!
@@TudorSmith thanks 😊
@@TudorSmith What about the marvelous BBC/PBS documentary, "Magical Mystery Tour Revisited" from 2012? The DVD is out of print. Do you know where I can get a copy? It's really a marvelous bit of history, with wonderful commentary by several musicians, artists and critics, which brings MMT into focus.
Just curious as to how many miles it was from where they started to where they ended up.
Actually the direct route from home (Kent) to Newquay is about 320 miles but with those detours I reckon I clocked up nearer 400! 😮
So…when are you going to do a video in Hamburg?…
I’ve got to renew my passport first 🤣
@@TudorSmith I’m just having some fun with you. Money doesn’t grow on trees. I really appreciate your videos as I have never been there and in all likelihood, never will…thanks!
😊 I’d love to go and I bet the trip would be easier than I think. It would certainly be a good video to make.
They stayed at The Royal Hotel Teignmouth not Torquay
Yeah I got it wrong on my map...but after a detour, I did find the place in the end :)
Thank you for the video!
Hey, what on earth could have been deemed inappropriate by the BBC between Aunt Jessie in 1967? Didn't they allow semi--nudity around that time? Not that I want to see Aunt Jessie in her birthday suit 😧🙄😂
Could have been snogging on the beach in the dream sequence! 🤣
Hoy! I'm going to myke a cloim that the Baytols spent a noiyt in my flat!
On 9, Mauch 1967, to be exzoct.
That’s a claim to fame then 👍

I loved The Beatles. I had every EMI or APPLE label studio album. And several compilation LP's. I had acquired a couple of original Decca and Vee-Jay 45's from a girl in high school 1977. Those disappeared some time after, pity, I've seen what they are worth now. The Albums were stolen much later. Shame.
My favorite albums are #1 Abbey Road #2 & #3 are actually -to me- one album in 2 parts, and they are: Sgt. Pepper & Myst'ry Tour. And then the White lp, and Rubber Soul after.
I do enjoy your videos.
Phil, in Tucson, AZ 😎
Thanks Phil. Yeah I did a little eBay search on the veejay singles and they are going for a pretty Penny eh?
I think you’re right about Sgt Pepper and MMT. Could have been a double album 👍
Wenn Du nach Hannover kommen magst! Lass es mich wissen!!! See you!
If I ever get there, I'll let you know :-)
ハノーバー行きたいです！

I'm rather thankful that "bum sculptures" are a British invention and not a product of the US 😏
Indeed. Two different meanings on each side of the Atlantic 🤣
Yes, Yes, this is the pointless utter nonsense that we want. Utter glorious drivel. But a work of National importance.😉. Are you Lewiston’s Uncle Cuthbert?
