I met and spoke to Neil at a real ale festival back in the late 90's where he was presenting a bit on it for a regional l tv show and asked him if we'll ever hear from the Rutles again and his answer was 'probably not as 'they' would'nt let us do it'!Lovely fella and wish i'd have got his autograph but i was so star struck i forgot to ask

Can I use this for my BandLab for Kansas City?

Saw it when it first aired. I loved it. I was a twelve year old Beatles fan. I watch every now and again and it still makes me laugh. Cheers

Wow amazing

so sad to find out Neil passed away :( I honestly thought he was still alive <3

18:20 Ironic that as he's saying how they had the right guitars for filming, there's a shot of him as Nasty playing an SG standard with a Bigsby on the Sullivan show. Lennon never played anything like that. otherwise, they got it pretty close, but that was well out. 20:28 A bit cheeky of Harrison to be insulted by Halsall's minimalist solo on "Love Life". His own one on AYNIL was evidently chocka with bum notes in the second half of it hence the orchestral arrangement having to take over.

Before there was Spinal Tap, there was The Rutles. People tend to forget that. I think I was 12 when I watched The Rutles when it aired here in Canada. I watched it because I was both a Beatles and Python fan. I didn't get all the humor as I was just 12 but the older I got I did. What makes this solid is that while it is parody it is also it's own thing. The music is legit and stands. This is the great thing about KZbin is that people can discover how cool this is.

Cheese and onions.

Neil Innes (RIP) was a real genius!

Neil Innes and Ollie Halsall were musical geniuses.

Niel Innis as Ron Nasty was ny first crush❤❤❤

DNAYS and Nice Time were my favorite programs when I was 6. Never did me any harm.

How the hell do people come up with this stuff on the spot

It’s the Eric at the end there going “John Winston Lennon”?

The cost to make that today would be huge. I couldn't see at TV company taking a punt on something like this now. To think this was made with good old fashioned old school filmmaking - no CGI or AI. The way they match the film stock alone is amazing. They must have worked so hard to get this end result. I'd like to know how long it took Neil to write and record the songs.

Strange that Eric Idle didn’t participate in this.

George Harrison at 34:22.

I have the Rutles LP. cheese and onions.

Awesome! Thx for posting…

Thank you so much for presenting this documentary. The Rutles -the acting and the songs- were very convincing. I believe that "Cheese and onions" was once believed it to be a John Lennon's song. Peaceandlove.

Never got the joke. Never understood why people thought this was funny.

Way better than Spinal Tap with some killer lines, my favourite being - 'there was a plethora of lawsuits - Barry sued Dirk, Stig and Nasty - Nasty sued Dirk, Stig and Barry - Dirk sued Barry, Stig and Nasty and Stig sued himself accidentally.

Legendary and brilliant. A once in a lifetime convergence of talents, attitudes, and enthusiasm.

Love it, SNL meets Monty Python with Neil's great music

I loved it when it came out and always thought the songwriting was masterful, all the camera angles and spoofs on every photo shoot and press conference, just brilliant.

I miss Neil Innes

Wonderful

One of my favourite mockumentarys, ever. I know the sound track album by heart. So I sang along during this excellent documentary😀 I was also pleasantly surprised, a few years ago, to find a lot of "new" Rutles songs available. Check out Archaeology , if you're a fan.

What do you get when you cross The Beatles with Monty Python?

I was lucky to see Innes in 2018 while he was in San Diego discussing an upcoming tour.

Would Spinal Tap have been made if this movie wasn't?

The beauty of cult films and TV shows is that they don't create an impact initially, but once they gain momentum they are totally unstoppable and outlast the popular stuff of their respective eras. Family Guy was cancelled twice in its early years but look at it afterwards.

i recall this was a TV program aired in 1978 then came Spinal Tap. Was a good time for comedy. SCTV, Saturday Night Live. Everything was very cynical back then but people were cynical as well. At least there was critical thinking. Not like today.

You know if it pissed off McCartney - the Beatle with the least sense of wit if you go back and read/see any interviews - then you KNOW Neil Innes and the boys were doing it absolutely correctly. It's called satire Paul. 🎬

No Eric?

"Only the band the Beatles could have been," A. Partridge.

A man of no fixed hairstyle!!!!

I heard that Beatles tribute bands love The Rutles & sneak Rutles songs into their sets & most audiences don’t even notice or can tell the difference😄

I met Paul. Having seen this I knew not to mention the Rutles. Thanks! (True story)

How can this country , brought forth , Nigel F , Jacob Reese M , Maggie S , Boris J ,Theresa M Rischi S

@27:52 i can watch this a hundred times and it gets funnier every time 😂
