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

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.
