Brian Epstein held a press conference in London to announce The Beatles’ plans for 1965. These included a European tour in July, at the centre of which would be a live TV broadcast from Paris, seen all over Europe (although not in Britain).

Epstein also confirmed that The Beatles hoped to begin work on a third feature film project before the end of 1965.
