10 TV Show Episodes You Can No Longer Watch

9. The Beatles' Last Performance - Top Of The Pops

Unstoppable - Law & Order: SVU Unstoppable Donald Trump
BBC

Still sitting in the hearts of many as the greatest band ever to warble a tune, it often feels as though just about every trailblazing moment of The Beatles' groundbreaking career has been captured and brought to a screen at some point or another over the years.

Yet, one specific moment of Beatlemania that still hasn't ever been re-released in its entirety actually just so happens to be the iconic band's last-ever TV performance as a unit from way back in 1966.

With the BBC unfortunately not keeping tapes around that time, the Top of the Pops performance of Paperback Writer from the four rockstars was thought to have been completely lost forever up until a few years back.

Then, on the back of a staggering 11 seconds of personally recorded footage of the foursome miming along in silence was dug up by a collector in Mexico, a further 92 seconds of them doing their thing was sent to the television archive organisation Kaleidoscope by music enthusiast David Chandler.

You still can't watch the entire performance from start to finish in its original quality, mind, but these fans are simply refusing to Let It Be...
