Beatles - Yellow Submarine

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine small lapel pins.
These came from Amazon.
Yellow Submarine (1968) is an animated full-length film based on the music of The Beatles. It is also the title of the film's album of music, which is part of the Beatles' musical oeuvre. The film was directed by Canadian-born animation producer George Dunning, and produced by United Artists and King Features Syndicate. With over 200 employees, chief designer Heinz Edelmann and director Charles Dunning worked on the film for eleven months. The animators came from England, but also from the USA and other countries in Europe. The real Beatles themselves do not appear until the final scene of the film.
In 1963, the American film studio United Artists approached The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein for a contract to make a number of films around the group. Epstein saw the deal as a good way to promote The Beatles and sell their music. United Artists was particularly interested in the money that would come in from selling the music albums. The Beatles were under contract to Capitol Records in the US, but that agreement excluded music albums. The studio knew that album sales would always make money even if the film flopped, so they saw the film deal with The Beatles as one in which they could not lose. On the other hand, the deal United Artists made with Epstein was not very favourable to The Beatles. Epstein was not a good negotiator and was an amateur in many financial matters. Admittedly, The Beatles were not at their peak of popularity at the time (certainly not in the US), but even in that context it was a disappointing contract. He had no idea of the normal profit percentages that could be negotiated, so he proposed a 7.5 % share. The United Artists studio bosses couldn't believe their luck; they had been afraid of tough negotiations and perhaps a higher percentage than 25%, and now Epstein came up with the ludicrous 7.5%. They immediately made a deal for three films. Not long after, the Beatles' popularity shot through the roof (also in the US), and Richard Lester made the first Beatles film A Hard Day's Night one of the most successful films of all time. This did not only deprive The Beatles of millions in earnings. They were also stuck with a financially disappointing film contract that would hang around their necks like a millstone.
The second film that The Beatles made for United Artists was Help, also directed by Lester. Although the film was as successful as its predecessor, the Beatles were not very enthusiastic about the end result. They were afraid of getting stuck in the format of "the happy adventures of the Beatles". But Brian Epstein had signed a contract with United Artists in 1963, and the film production company demanded a third film. All sorts of ideas were floated, such as a film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings with Ringo as Frodo and John as Gandalf, but the third film did not materialise. In 1967, the four Beatles thought they could direct themselves and made the television production "Magical Mystery Tour". The TV movie was broadcast by the BBC in black and white and was received by viewers and critics with dismay. After this, The Beatles' interest in films dropped to a low point. Their manager Brian Epstein came up with the solution. He was approached by Al Brodax, the head of King Features Syndicate, with the idea of making a full-length animated film based on a number of Beatles songs. The idea was based on the animated series about The Beatles that had been broadcast since 1965. TVC produced this series, in which an animated adventure was always made around a Beatles song. The Beatles were excited because they did not have to contribute to the film. But for this very reason, United Artists rejected Yellow Submarine as the third film. It was only with the documentary Let it Be that the Beatles fulfilled their contractual obligations. However, Yellow Submarine was a hit in cinemas and the critics were also enthusiastic. They especially praised the innovations in animation. The drawn appearance of The Beatles was based on the appearance of the real Beatles at the time of the recording of the film that accompanied the single Strawberry Fields Forever. Only, Paul McCartney's moustache had disappeared from his alter ego in the film. The Beatles themselves, who had expected some kind of Disney film, were pleasantly surprised by the result of Yellow Submarine and decided to appear in the final scene themselves.
The starting point for the film was the song "Yellow Submarine". Paul McCartney wrote it as one of the songs that drummer Ringo Starr could sing with his limited singing voice. It was intended as a children's song with simple lyrics and melody. Subsequent accusations that "yellow submarines" were a code name for yellow pills, namely Nembutol capsules, so-called "downers" (hence "submarine": submarine) were dismissed by McCartney. Producer Lee Minoff based himself on the idea of a children's song and wrote the first draft of the story. Soon, several scriptwriters were working on the scenario. It was decided to include a number of recent Beatles songs alongside 'Yellow Submarine'. Some of these songs were taken from the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This Beatles album, released in 1967, caused a sensation in the music world. The idea behind the album was that The Beatles were transformed into the fictional pop group Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band. On the cover, they can be seen in satin military uniforms in bright colours. This was the impetus for the idea of including in the film a Sgt. Pepper who lives in Pepperland with his band. At one point, there were about twenty versions of the screenplay circulating. One of the writers was Roger McCough, a poet from Liverpool, who contributed much to the dialogues with their typical ambiguities, expressions from Liverpool, and private jokes from The Beatles. McCough received 500 pounds for his contribution, but no mention in the credits. Mention was made of Jack Mendelsohn and Erich Segal. Mendelsohn had worked on the Beatles' animated series, but Segal was unfamiliar with the film business in 1967. He was working at Yale as an assistant to the professor of Classics. He was brought to London by Brodax to put together a coherent script from the large amount of material, some of which consisted only of fragments. Segal worked on the script continuously for several weeks under the threat of a deadline. He was barely allowed to leave his hotel room to jog. However, Segal was able to take advantage of a brilliant suggestion by lead designer Heinz Edelmann. During a production meeting, the collaborators came to a disturbing conclusion: the screenplay lacked an enemy. Pepperland was a paradise without a snake. Edelmann came up with the concept of the Blue Meanies and their attack on everything that smelt of music. (Incidentally, the meanies were originally red, entirely in keeping with the Cold War. An error by Edelmann's assistant caused the colours to be switched and the meanies became blue). Despite all the creative contributions, Yellow Submarine's screenplay also suffered from the fact that the music overshadowed the story and the story was adapted to the songs. It did result in a modern fairy tale about the 1967 hippy generation.

The Postcard
A Living Picture Series postcard that was posted in Belfast using a ½d. stamp on Saturday the 6th. April 1907. It was sent to:
Mrs. H. Lang,
17, Jocelyn Avenue,
Belfast.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Hoping you are having
a good time.
I was disappointed not
to find you in.
L."
Richard Murdoch
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 6th. April 1907 marked the birth of the English actor and entertainer Richard Bernard Murdoch.
After early professional experience in the chorus in musical comedy, Murdoch quickly moved on to increasingly prominent roles in musical comedy and revue in the West End and on tour.
He made his first radio broadcast for the BBC in 1932, and in 1937 and 1938 he featured in early television broadcasts.
Richard came to national fame when cast with the comedian Arthur Askey in the radio show Band Waggon in 1938.
Their contrasting styles appealed to the public, and they took a version of the show on tour to theatres around the country and made a film adaptation of it.
Serving in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, Murdoch met a fellow officer, Kenneth Horne, and together they conceived, wrote and starred in the radio series Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh, which ran from 1944 to 1954.
Murdoch's last long-running radio programmes were The Men from the Ministry (1962–1977) in which he played a well-meaning but disaster-prone civil servant, and Many a Slip, a panel game in which he appeared from 1964 to 1973.
Murdoch appeared on air and on stage in Australia, Canada and South Africa, and continued acting and broadcasting into his eighties.
-- Richard Murdoch - The Early Years
Richard Murdoch was born at his family's home in Keston, Kent, the only son of Bernard Murdoch, a tea merchant, and his wife, Amy Florence, daughter of the Ven. Avison Scott, archdeacon of Tonbridge.
He was educated at Charterhouse School in Surrey, and Pembroke College, Cambridge, which he left without taking a degree. His biographer Barry Took comments that:
"Murdoch's appetite for a career
in show business was whetted
by success with the Cambridge
Footlights".
Murdoch made his professional stage debut in March 1927 at the Kings Theatre, Southsea, in the chorus of The Blue Train, a musical comedy starring Lily Elsie and directed by Jack Hulbert.
He remained in the show when it opened in the West End in May of that year.
Richard graduated from the chorus to a supporting role in a tour of Oh! Letty, a musical farce in which he was praised by Neville Cardus for:
"A stretch of distinguished dancing".
In 1932 he married Peggy, daughter of William Rawlings, solicitor. They had one son and two daughters.
During the 1930's Richard gained increasingly prominent roles in musicals and revues, including the secondary romantic lead to Jack Buchanan's star, in Stand up and Sing (1932).
He also took the lead in a 1936 tour of Gay Divorce in the part played in New York and London by Fred Astaire.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) transmitted a live radio relay of Stand up and Sing in April 1932, and Murdoch was in another such relay in 1934 in an entertainment called Bubbles.
Richard's first studio work for the corporation was in 1936 in a radio show called Tunes of the Town, and during 1937 and early 1938 he took part in five broadcasts by the fledgling BBC Television service, including an adaptation of Noël Coward's one-act comedy with music, Red Peppers in which he played the Coward role.
-- Band Waggon and Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh
In 1938 the BBC teamed Murdoch with Arthur Askey in the radio series Band Waggon, where they were soon billed as "Richard ('Stinker') Murdoch and "'Big-hearted' Arthur Askey".
The smooth West End style of Murdoch contrasted with the down-to-earth humour of Askey, whose background was in seaside concert parties.
Their main slot in the weekly show took up only about ten minutes, but it caught the public imagination. They were depicted as occupying a flat on top of Broadcasting House.
Barry Took comments that their humour was a forerunner of much radio comedy to come:
"The fantasy of their living in Broadcasting House,
and the creation of such mythical characters as
Mrs. Bagwash the charlady and her daughter
Nausea and their pet animals, a goat called Lewis,
and two pigeons Basil and Lucy, preceded ITMA
and Hancock's Half Hour, and was a strong
influence on many nascent comedy scriptwriters."
Towards the end of 1938, after two series with the BBC, Band Waggon became a stage show. The impresario Jack Hylton presented the two stars and a supporting cast in a show that toured the provincial music-halls and finished with a run at the London Palladium in 1939.
The stars featured in a film adaptation in 1940.
The Observer commented that:
"They work so well together because
they find the same things funny. Each
has a special line of humour that sets
the other going".
Richard Murdoch was conscripted into the Royal Air Force in 1941, serving as a pilot officer in the intelligence section of Bomber Command, before being posted to the Department of Allied Air Force and Foreign Liaison as a flight lieutenant.
In 1943 he joined the Directorate of Administrative Plans at the Air Ministry, where he shared an office with wing commander Kenneth Horne, being responsible for the supply of aircraft and air equipment to Russia. Richard finished the war with the rank of Squadron Leader.
Horne and Murdoch quickly became friends, and as both were regular broadcasters they invented a fictitious RAF station Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh for a programme of the same name.
It went on air in January 1944, and when peace came in 1945 it became a civilian airport. The show continued successfully, with the last programme being broadcast in March 1954.
-- Richard Murdoch - The Later Years
Murdoch's later career is described by Barry Took as "varied and interesting". In 1954 the Australian Broadcasting Corporation presented a series of variety programmes called Much Murdoch, in which he worked again with Horne, who took advantage of a three-week holiday to join him.
Murdoch worked again with Arthur Askey in 1958 in the television series Living It Up, running a pirate TV station from the roof of Television House.
Richard's next major broadcasting success was the BBC radio series The Men from the Ministry (1962–1977). His character, Richard Lamb, was a well-meaning but not conspicuously bright civil servant.
Together with his equally disaster-prone superior, Roland Hamilton-Jones (Wilfrid Hyde-White) and later Deryck Lennox-Brown (Deryck Guyler), continually found the wrong answers to the pressing problems of government.
Murdoch's last long-running radio show was Many a Slip, a panel game that combined humour and erudition, in which he appeared from 1964 to 1973.
Richard Murdoch appeared in two seasons at the Shaw Festival and on tour in North America, playing Aubrey in Tons of Money (1968) and William the Waiter in You Never Can Tell (1973).
Richard toured South Africa in a comedy called Not in the Book (1974), and toured Great Britain as Sir William Boothroyd, the role created by Ralph Richardson, in William Douglas-Home's Lloyd George Knew My Father.
From 1978 to 1990, Murdoch had a long-running regular role as "Uncle Tom", the briefless senior barrister of chambers, in Rumpole of the Bailey.
In 1981 he played the headmaster in Alan Bennett's Forty Years On. In 1989 he played Lord Caversham in Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband on tour and at the Westminster Theatre; The Times commented that:
"Murdoch manages to make Caversham's
ghastly mixture of the sanctimonious, the
roguish and the bluff seem human."
-- Richard Murdoch's Death
Murdoch, a keen golfer, died at the age of 83 while playing golf at Walton Heath, Surrey, on the 9th. October 1990. He was survived by his wife and children.

My signed copy of The Hanging Tree by Ben Aaronovitch obtained at Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield on Wednesday 10th May 2017. In the late 1980s Ben wrote two stories for TV Doctor Who, Remembrance of the Daleks for the 25th anniversary in 1988 (which he later novelised), and Battlefield in 1989. Ben is more famous these days as the author of the acclaimed Peter Grant / Rivers of London series of novels of which The Hanging Tree is the most recent.
This is Cuenca, whose historic centre has the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Its buildings blend in perfectly with stunning natural landscapes. This fusion of art and nature give this city in the Castile-La Mancha region, in inland Spain, a special atmosphere.
Cuenca is 170 kilometres from Madrid, in the Castile-La Mancha region. The first thing you will notice is the cultural heritage of a city that maintains intact its appearance of a medieval fortress, with its palaces, stately houses, towers, churches, convents, streets, squares and walkways. Its historic centre is packed with civil and religious buildings of different artistic styles, the majority constructed between the 12th and 18th centuries.
Before strolling through the centre of Cuenca, we recommend that you take a look from a distance: seeing how the city "hangs" from the rock is spectacular. From the San Pablo Convent, now home to a Parador Hotel, you will be able to enjoy this view, with the San Pablo Bridge suspended over the Huécar Canyon, along with the façades of the Hanging Houses, the city's most emblematic structures, defying the gorge below. These buildings are excellent examples of traditional architecture. They are currently home to the Spanish Museum of Abstract Art, not to be missed, given that it has one of Europe's best collections in the genre.
The following await you in its streets: the Cathedral (12th-13th centuries), the first example of Gothic architecture in Spain. Its façade is the only one in the country in Anglo-Norman style; the area surrounding Plaza Mayor Square, with emblematic buildings such as the Town Hall; networks of narrow streets, hills, staircases, underground passes and stone walls that lead to places such as Nuestra Señora de las Angustias Shrine and San Miguel Church, from where you can enjoy stunning views of the area

Instituto O'Higgins
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 9th. February 1915, the private Catholic boys school Instituto O'Higgins de Rancagua was established in Rancagua, Chile by the Marist Brothers religious order.
In 2000, the school began enrolling female students.
Lennard Pearce
The day also marked the birth in Paddington of Lennard Pearce.
Leonard Pearce was an English actor who worked in theatre and television. He is best known for playing Grandad in the BBC television series Only Fools and Horses, from 1981 until his death in December 1984.
Pearce's father Sidney was killed in action during the Great War. Lennard trained as an actor at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.
Lennard Pearce's Stage Work
As a young actor in the 1930's, Pearce joined a performance tour in Germany. One theatrical performance was attended by senior members of the Nazi Party.
At the end of the show, party officials came backstage to congratulate the cast, and Pearce shook hands with Adolf Hitler. Lennard regretted not taking the opportunity to kill Hitler.
During World War II, Pearce performed for the Entertainments National Service Association.
In the early 1960's, he understudied for Stanley Holloway as Alfred P. Doolittle in the original West End production of My Fair Lady.
After 1965, Lennard appeared in many plays at the National Theatre, including Much Ado About Nothing and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.
He worked with both Laurence Olivier and Anthony Hopkins on stage. In 1966, Pearce starred in Sheridan's The Rivals alongside David Jason, but Pearce and Jason did not meet again until 15 years later.
In 1975, Pearce played Owl in a theatre adaptation of Winnie the Pooh at the Phoenix Theatre in London, and two years later, Mr. Witherspoon in Arsenic and Old Lace at the Westminster Theatre.
Lennard was also a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Lennard Pearce's Television Work
Pearce's television work includes Dixon of Dock Green (1965), Dr. Finlay's Casebook (1967), Sykes (1972) and Coronation Street (1969 and 1977), along with The Wednesday Play ("Cathy Come Home", 1966).
Pearce also appeared in a Crown Court broadcast in February 1984.
In 1981, Pearce began his role as Grandad in the first three series of the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
Unkempt and absent-minded, although sometimes displaying a high intelligence, Grandad rarely left the flat or even moved from his armchair in front of two television sets. He was often assigned the job of cooking meals, despite his notoriously poor cooking skills
He also appeared in a 1984 episode of Minder named "The Balance of Power" and played Mr. Coles in three episodes of Shroud for a Nightingale in March 1984.
Pearce's last television appearance was on Children in Need, broadcast on BBC1 on the 23rd. November 1984.

In 1980, while Pearce was a cast member of a play running at the Bristol Old Vic, he began to lose his balance and frequently fell asleep. He was diagnosed with critical hypertension, and was prescribed medication.
A heavy smoker for many years, Pearce was in poor health while filming the first episode of Series 4 of Only Fools and Horses.
He suffered a heart attack on the 12th. December 1984 and was rushed by ambulance to Whittington Hospital, where his condition improved. Two days later, Only Fools and Horses scriptwriter John Sullivan visited Pearce, and assured him that his place in the programme would be left open for him when he recovered.
After he was discharged from hospital, Pearce suddenly died on the 15th. December 1984 after suffering a second heart attack at his flat in Archway. He was 69 years old.
Sullivan heard the news the following morning, and informed Pearce's Only Fools and Horses costars David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, who were devastated by Pearce's death, as were the entire crew.
When Pearce died, production had begun for the Only Fools and Horses episode "Hole in One." The episode was re-written around Grandad's death, and scenes that had been filmed on location with Pearce were reshot with Buster Merryfield as the replacement character Uncle Albert.
The episode "Strained Relations" began in the wake of the death of the Grandad character.
