All Ringo`s segments were filmed on the one day in Los Angeles but for each album segment Ringo changed clothes.
In England the shows were broadcast weekly throughout August & September by the BBC but without Ringo`s intros.
In America they were shown with Ringo`s exclusive intros on VH-1 over 6 days in April.
A brief excerpt from one segment was also used in a short TV ad for the series on VH-1.
