Harrison and the other Beatles performed their song "Ticket to Ride" on the 13 May 1965 instalment of Top of the Pops. The First Doctor and his companions Vicki Pallister, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright watched it via the Time-Space Visualiser. (TV: The Chase) According to one account which claimed that the Visualiser was a hoax, the people seen on the Visualiser were not the genuine historical figures but human slaves of the Pursuer-Daleks who were made to re-enact the event as a deception for the Doctor and his companions.

By January 1970, Harrison had released multiple solo albums, including Electronic Sound. His recent solo work suggested he was on a different musical path as the other members and convinced some that the group would split very soon. (PROSE: Night of the Intelligence)
