All You Need Is Cash (also known as The Rutles) is a 1978 television film that traces (in mockumentary style) the career of a fictitious British rock group called The Rutles. As TV Guide described it, the group's resemblance to The Beatles is "purely — and satirically — intentional." The music and events in the lives of the Rutles paralleled that of The Beatles, spoofing many of the latter's career highlights. Songs from the film were released on an accompanying soundtrack album. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_You_Need_Is_Cash Rutland Weekend Television takes a look at the Pre-fab Four: Dirk, Barry, Stig and Nasty; better known as the Rutles.
