July 30
The Beatles spent the day rehearsing on stage at Brian Epstein’s Saville Theatre. They did two BBC interviews: one with Dibbs Mather for the British Information Service and the other with Lance Percival for his Lance A Gogo show on the BBC Light Programme. Later John, Paul and George drove to Blackpool in John’s black-glass Rolls Royce. Ringo and Brian Epstein took the plane. The car was parked in the police station car park to keep it safe from fans but in the morning the windows were all cracked. John was angry, but it turned out that the windows had been fitted too tightly and had cracked with the movement of the car, not because they had been tampered with.
