7) The repeated description of Paul's grandfather as ''very clean'' in a Hard Day's Night is an in-joke about the actor Wilfrid Brambell's role in which TV series ?

One of the biggest gaffs in history :)
A & R manager Dick Rowe heard them that day (they'd just driven down from Liverpool on a freezing 1st Jan) and turned them down.
They went on to sell a billion records. LoL

Apparently Dick Rowe's explained reasoning was that "Guitar Groups have had their day", thinking the likes of The Shadows & The Ventures weren't selling as many records as last year.
When The Beatles became famous John Lennon was told Dick Rowe was "kicking himself" due to turning the Fab Four down, Lennon said "I hope he kicks himself to death".
