We went all the way up to Northern Scotland for our holiday, and all we got to show for it was this tour of the sites of the real-life Macbethad mac Findláech! HAPPY HALLOWE’EN! OR SAMHAIN IF…

The fact that we’re living in the timeline in which we can all watch a vid fresh from Paul McCartney’s phone of him kicking back, by a river, just after a J, just hits me as so beautiful I could weep laughs.

Ladies and gentleladies, this #FabFoolsFriday we present Mr Hugh Laurie with Sir Stephen Fry giving us their extremely odd rendition of The Beatles' 'Hey Jude'. Messrs Fry & Laurie, 'Hey Jude' – thank you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy_n... #SoupyTwists 🍸🍸✌🏾🎶🃏

Dump Together? An angle The Beatles never thought of for the Abbey Road cover from a shop window in Bilbao, Spain.

Diane in Shoot The Moon. Singing Beatles in the bath and crying. Hands up who’s never done that
On this #FabFOolsFriday, the day after what should have been Ron Nasty's 85th, here's the great man's poppycock-eyed swan song, The Imitation Song. Keep on Rutling, guys. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J353... ✌🏾🎶🃏

Oh look, it’s another Beatles podcast you don’t have time to listen to! Never mind, here’s a short bit of Terry Gilliam pontificating about the Python/Beatles axis. #FabFoolsFriday #Beatles #Rutles #Comedy #MontyPython youtu.be/HjiID3E5LMg?... ✌🏻🃏🎶

The worst thing about the Beatles cartoon was the voices, and the script. So, yeah, keep them and re-do the visuals, the least worst thing about it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ-S...

I know it's the job of every Guardian reviewer to be precisely as unqualified as they are incorrect about everything, but I'm so SICK of seeing Eric Idle publicity lionising the Rutles and NEVER Mentioning Neil Innes. Remember, Eric? Not famous enough? www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/s...

Only just heard 'Cups and Cakes': www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQBH...

It's no 'English Tea', but this is unequivocally the most ANY Beatle has EVER sent themselves up. Yep, more than Ringo and The Monkees flogging pizzas.

There's also a very funny bit in the BBC's This Cultural Life Eric Idle episode where the presenter mentions "The Rutles, who toured for many years" – as if that fact is anything but a thorn in Eric's side. I'd have loved to have seen his face at that moment. RIP Neil. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

This #FabFoolsFriday, someone has slung Alun Owen's NO TRAMS TO LIME STREET online – sadly not the original, but the 1970 second remake, lacking colour. Still a fascinating squint at why Owen was the best writer ever to cater for The Beatles: youtu.be/ezTccAA2UwQ?... 🎶🃏✌🏽
