Just when you thought you'd seen every video imaginable of the Beatles, the BBC's new Arena Hotel documentary series is offering up this clip of the Fab Four eating fish and chips in goofy style. It's from the new behind-the-scenes feature Magical Mystery Tour Revisited, which airs on October 6th; standout elements of the clip include John Lennon's feathered top hat, George Harrison's pale blue suit that looks adorably too large on him and a jolly sing-along on a bus.

Arena Hotel is an interactive project that allows users to view a wealth of videos from the BBC's famed, long-running documentary series Arena. Other clips feature Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Andy Warhol and Pete Doherty.

“The A Team”

Ed Sheeran | 2011

This debut track from the then-20-year-old British singer-songwriter has a dark story behind it. Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
