While exploring EMI Recording Studios at Abbey Road on 11th of February, 1963, the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday observed Cilla Black recording a song. They were baffled to hear her perform a song with little lyrical or melodic value, which they would eventually learn was due to the interference of Maestro. After John Lennon and Paul McCartney played the right chord to banish Maestro, Cilla Black regained her musical prowess. She then danced and sang "Twist at the End" alongside Ruby in the recording studio while the Fifteenth Doctor and several dancers watched on.
