On June 23, 1963, The Beatles headlined a special edition of "Summer Spin," which was the summer version of the popular show "Thank Your Lucky Stars." The episode was dedicated to Mersey Beat groups and was filmed at Alpha Television Studios in Birmingham, England.
Presented by Pete Murray, the show featured The Beatles miming to two songs at the close: "From Me To You" and "I Saw Her Standing There." The broadcast took place on June 29, 1963, from 6:05 to 6:45 pm across most of the UK's ITV network. However, the final 10 minutes of the show overlapped with John Lennon's appearance on the BBC's "Juke Box Jury."
Unfortunately, no recording of this particular program is believed to exist today
