Notes: Ringo Starr was not present for The Beatles recording sessions on this day, as he was at the BBC`s Television Theatre in
London to rehearse and record an appearance on Cilla Black`s television show Cilla.

Starr appeared during the opening credits and in a number of skits. In the first, he assisted Black in sorting through her fan
mail and introduced one of her singing performances, I`m Playing Second Fiddle To A Football Team. A second sketch saw him
interact with Peter Brough and performing with his own "dummy", introduced as Ariadne but actually Black in a school uniform.

Starr and Black duetted unaccompanied on the 1905 song Nellie Dean while he drank from a pint of beer, and finally they sang and danced to a 1917 song entitled Do You Like Me?

It is believed the BBC wiped this episode.Luckily there are some photos from the episode and audio exists as well.
