After a 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM recording session, The Beatles recorded their first of three appearance on the BBC Radio program The Public Ear, a spoken-word magazine which The Beatles always gave interviews for. The Beatles avidly listened to the series while touring. This interview, which was taped by Michael Colley at the NEMS offices, was in an edition of The Public Ear that was transmitted from 3:00 to 4:00 PM on the BBC Light Programme on November 3. This edition included a twelve-minute feature devoted to the "Mersey Beat" boom, featuring interviews with Bill Harry, Pete Best, Millie Sutcliffe (Stuart Sutcliffe's mother), Royston Ellis ("beat poet" whom The Beatles had backed at The Jacaranda in May 1960), and members of the public. This feature was narrated by Tony Hall, a respected broadcaster in the British record industry and a personal friend of The Beatles. This broadcast was shortened into a revised form of The Public Ear, calld "In The Public Ear," which broadcast on January 14, 1964.
