Trivia
The constant mention of Paul McCartney's grandfather being "very clean" are references to actor Wilfrid Brambell playing a rag-and-bone man in Steptoe and Son, featuring the catch-phrase, "You dirty old man." "Steptoe and Son" was remade in the US as Sanford and Son. See more »Goofs
Continuity: During the concert near the end, the set during 'She Loves You' changes. When the Beatles are shown on stage, there are big lights behind them. In the control room, the shots of the stage show pictures of the Beatles in the background. See more »Crazy Credits
