Yes, and I think the Beatles version was more popular in the UK than his own. So, he couldn't resist a little bit of sarcasm. He really was (and maybe still is) a charismatic and witty performer.

I started watching my boxset yesterday.
A young Geoffrey Whitehead in the Avengers.
I never realised he was young.
The casts in this show are really a who's who of British actors from the last 50 years.
Also John Laurie - but he was old then.

Ha ha! They look the spit of each other - but weirdly she is quite attractive.
Film 'The New World'. It has Christopher Plummer which is all I need to ressurect my teenage Captain von Trap fantasies. 
That new (For TV) Agatha Christie thing with David Walliams in it.
Partners in Crime.
Watched the last ep. of Joanna Lumley's trip across Siberia, which was very interesting if somewhat too brief to take in some of the wonders; but she is a very good presenter and has a nice touch in comedic comments.
This was a bit of an eye opener:-
Lake Baikal
The deepest lake in the world is Lake Baikal in Siberia. Its deepest point is 1637 meters. It holds 20% of the world's fresh surface water and is the world's largest freshwater lake by volume.
But she said it was a mile deep (OK,1609metres) and held 5% of the world's freshwater, so take yer pick.
Whatever, that is effin' deep and a hell of lot of water!
The Genius of David Bowie that I'd recorded from last week - excellent!
Just been watching the BBC orchestra playing Mars from the Holst Planet Suite on BBC4 from the Albert Hall...........
Ooooo, get me.
Starting to watch a programme about the Duke of Edinburgh. My blood's boiling already. And who on earth thinks he was handsome? He was bland.
