After the conclusion of their fifteen-part BBC radio season Pop Go The Beatles, the group were invited back for a series of two-hour bank holiday specials under the title From Us To You. The first of these was recorded in the BBC Paris Studio on December 18th and broadcast on Boxing Day December 26th 1963. The now-disgraced Australian television star Rolf Harris hosted the show and the Beatles accompanied him on a version of his 1960 hit Tie Me Kangaroo Down. Also appearing on the show was the boys’ favourite British rocker Joe Brown with his Bruvvers.
