Episode 38 of The Beatles (1967).<\/em><\/p>\n

The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine<\/em><\/a> was released on Blu-ray earlier this month. The quality is as good as you’d expect, it looks and sounds fantastic with the songs really benefitting from their remixes and high-definition audio. The film atoned for Al Brodax and George Dunning’s earlier role as producers of the lamentable The Beatles<\/em><\/a> animated TV series which ran for 39 episodes from 1965 to 1967. The series as a whole may be cheap and nasty but the penultimate number<\/a> is notable for being the only one featuring two of John Lennon’s songs inspired by his acid trips: Tomorrow Never Knows<\/em> and She Said, She Said<\/em>. These tiny eruptions of psychedelic culture into children’s film and television have always fascinated me, and this is one example I’d missed until now. No wonder it had to end, the Fab Four were getting far too weird. Okay kids, sing along now: “I know what it’s like to be dead…”<\/p>\n
