We continue on with Part 2 of the History of Rutland Weekend television - and dive into the origins of The Beatles parody band: The Rutles.

A segment on Rutland Weekend Television later spun off into the full-length mockumentary, The Rutles; which was a direct influence on Spinal Tap and the other films of Christopher Guest.
