Back to Studio Four, Granada TV Centre in Manchester, The Beatles
tape their second appearance on the program "People and Places".
Rehearsals and recording take about two hours (11:00 am to 1:00

Honey". In an unusual stage setting (for The Beatles, at least),
"Love Me Do" is taped with Paul, George, and Ringo standing, but
John, without an instrument, is sitting and singing in the style of
a solo singer backed by a supporting group. For "A Taste of
Honey", though, they resume their usual group arrangement, although
they remove their suit coats and perform in waistcoats.
