The film is interspersed with musical interludes, which include the Beatles performing " I Am the Walrus" wearing animal masks and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band performing Vivian Stanshall and Neil Innes' " Death Cab For Cutie". Shooting proceeded on the basis of a mostly handwritten collection of ideas, sketches and situations. Much of Magical Mystery Tour was shot in and around RAF West Malling, a decommissioned military airfield in Kent, and the script was largely improvised. Paul McCartney is credited with conceptualising and leading the project. The premise was inspired by Ken Kesey's Furthur adventures with the Merry Pranksters and the then-popular coach trips from Liverpool to see the Blackpool Lights. It is the third film that starred the band and depicts a group of people on a coach tour who experience strange happenings caused by magicians. Magical Mystery Tour is a 1967 British made-for-television musical film directed by and starring the Beatles.
