Once upon a time…or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise called Pepperland – a place where happiness and music reigned supreme. But all that was threatened when the terrible Blue Meanies declared war and sent in their army led by a menacing Flying Glove to destroy all that was good. Enter John, Paul, George and Ringo to save the day! Armed with little more than their humour, songs, and of course, their yellow submarine, the Fab Four tackle the rough seas ahead in an effort to bring down the evil forces of  bluedom.

Yellow Submarine is a 1968 animated film based on the music of the Beatles. It is also the title for the soundtrack album to the feature film, released as part of the Beatles' music catalogue. The film was directed by British animation producer George Dunning, and produced by United Artists and King Features Syndicate.

Pepperland is a cheerful music-loving utopia located "80,000 leagues under the sea", and is named after and protected by Sgt. Pepper of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band fame. It is attacked by the music-hating Blue Meanies who seal the Band inside a musicproof sphere, then turn the Pepperlanders into statues and drain the country itself of colour. Pepperland's Lord Mayor assigns the task of finding help to the inappropriately-nicknamed "Young Fred", who escapes in the yellow vessel in the nick of time. Travelling to Liverpool, Fred begs for help from the depressed and aimless Ringo Starr, who agrees and rounds up his three mates: Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison. The five of them journey back to Pepperland in the submarine, passing through The Sea of Time, The Sea of Monsters and The Sea of Holes, among other exotic locales. After picking up a rather helpful "nowhere man" named Jeremy Hilary Boob, they arrive in Pepperland, imitate Sgt. Pepper's band, and "rally the land to rebellion". Colour and flowers re-bloom, and Pepperland is restored. In the end, the heroes make peace with the Meanies, and everyone lives happily ever after.

John Clive


Tall, versatile, brown haired (now balding) supporting actor, John Clive has been in a number of famous movies throughout his career.

His first film was Smashing Time (1967) and this was followed by a role in the Beatles movie, Yellow Submarine (1968), when he was called upon to dub John Lennon's voice.

Appearing in the The Italian Job (1969) was also something of an achievement for this versatile actor. He appeared in a controversial but landmark movie A Clockwork Orange (1971), two years later.

For the 'Carry On...' fans he is best remembered as playing the first openly gay character in the series. The character 'Robin' goes on holiday with his partner 'Nicholas' in Carry On Abroad (1972), but unfortunately the characters fall out in the film and 'Robin' is left on his own at the end of the holiday. Another good performance in Carry On Dick (1974) followed.

John is not seen in film as much anymore, however he remains a strong performer in many stage productions and is also a successful author. He shares his free time between two properties in London and Spain.

Geoffrey Hughes

(born 2 February 1944 in Wallasey, Cheshire, England) is an English actor, best known for his portrayal of Eddie Yeats, Hilda Ogden's scallywag lodger in Granada Television's Coronation Street, a role he played from 1974 to 1983.He started his career in repertory at the Victoria Theatre in Stoke on Trent. This was followed by his first West End production, the Lionel Bart and Alun Owen musical, Maggie May. His other West End productions include the stage version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; Say Goodnight to Grandma, The Secret Life of Cartoons, and several seasons of Run for your Wife. He has recently played 'Pistol' in an open air production of Henry V at Barnwell Manor. He has also toured extensively in Britain and abroad.

Among his many other appearances on television are, An Arrow for Little Audrey, The Saint, Shadows of Fear, 7 Cars, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), Flying Lady, Making Out, Coasting, Doctor Who, Spender, and Boone, and last, but not least, Heartbeat. He played 'Trinculo' in an all filmed version of the Tempest for the BBC and 'Squire Clodpoll' in Good Friday 1663, one of Channel Four's new avant-garde operas. His comedy appearances on TV include, The Likely Lads, Please Sir, Curry and Chips, The Upper Hand and 'Onslow', the less than salubrious brother-in-law of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'Bouquet') in the BBC comedy series Keeping Up Appearances.

Geoffrey's film credits include Till Death do us Part, The Bofors Gun, Virgin Soldiers, Adolf Hitler My Part in His Downfall, Carry on at Your Convenience, and TV films, Needle, and The Man from the Pru. He was also the voice of Paul McCartney in the Beatles'cartoon film Yellow Submarine.

Peter Batten

Probably best known as the voice of George Harrison in the 1968 movie Yellow Submarine. In reality it turned out he was a deserter from the British Army and was arrested during recording, the voice had to be finished by someone else.

Paul Angelis

Born in Liverpool.
Many guest appearances on British cop shows distinguish this busy character actor, notably in two parts on Z Cars, This Is Personal: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper (2000), The Grimleys, The Bill, Casualty, The Bullion Boys, Boon, Dick Turpin, Robin's Nest, The Sweeney, George and Mildred, Porridge, Man About the House, The Liver Birds and many others as well as his Impressive vocal work on Yellow Submarine too.

Dick Emery

(19 February 1919 - 2 January 1983) was a British comedian and actor, particularly popular during the 1960s and 1970s.


He began his career as a sidekick to comedians such as Tony Hancock, and had a regular role in the sitcom, The Army Game on ITV.

Emery's weekly BBC show, which ran irregularly from 1963 to 1979, consisted of sketches which mostly involved his dressing up as various characters. The best-known were hapless pensioner "James Maynard Kitchener Lampwick" and "Mandy", a voracious blonde whose catchphrase was "Ooh, you are awful ... but I like you!" - which became the title of Emery's own British Lion theatrical release (in which Emery displayed the same penchant for characterisation, both male and female).

Emery also appeared in several films, such as The Fast Lady (1962), and was a voice actor on the animated Beatles movie Yellow Submarine.

In a difficult private life, he was married five times. He enjoyed aviation and motorcycling amongst his hobbies, as well as model-making, and had his own review page in Meccano Magazine during 1971. He was a perfectionist at every undertaking, so he could be found to be of a demanding nature. He died in Denmark Hill, from heart failure aged 63.

Lance Percival

(born 26 July 1933) is a British actor, born in Sevenoaks, Kent.

Lance Percival first became well known for performing topical calypsos on television satire shows such as That Was The Week That Was. He appeared in the Carry On film Carry On Cruising (1962). He provided the voice of central character "Young Fred" in The Beatles's animated film Yellow Submarine.

He is also the author of delightful books of verse, "Well-Versed Cats" and "Well-Versed Dogs" which are both illustrated by Lalla Ward.
