Someone must have mentioned this episode earlier, but there's an entire Absolutely Fabulous show dedicated to "The Lost Beatles Tapes" that Edwina, very I Love Lucy style, accidentally records over while mucking about in Abbey Road Studios. Here's Part 1 of the episode:

Our House, a maudlin 1986-88 drama featuring an adorable basset hound, a beautiful ca. 1967 Plymouth Belvedere and Shannen Doughtery's (sp) first serial role as a teen had, in the 1987-88 season an episode where Jessie takes over teaching the school newspaper class. A kid named Eric acts a fool and drums on his desk. The former teacher, upon leaving calls him Ringo.
During the show's final season, there is an episode called "The Fifth Beatle." Chad Allen, who plays middle child David, then in middle school talks about Pete Best and makes a reference to being the forgotten or "fifth" Beatle.

On the November 1, 1987 episode of Our House, Jessie, the daughter-in-law says one of the things she loves about her kids' dad is that he knew the lyrics to all the Beatles' songs.

Just caught a bit of an Irish film on cable, The Boys From County Clare. It took place in the '60s and featured an Irish music group from Liverpool, so it was riddled with Beatles references.

On the February 21, 1988 airing of "Trouble in Paradise, Pt 2" of Our House, Shannen Doughtery (Kris Witherspoon) dates a boy who has a Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" poster on his wall.

Toy Story 2 was almost gonna have a Beatles reference. During the flashback scene when Jessie talks about her kid Emily losing interest in her, the concept art shows the posters in her room changing from cowgirls and horses to 60s music posters, one of them being a Beatles one. But in the movie it was just changed to generic 60s style music posters.

I have never seen Magica lMystery Tour, but the plots in HELP, HDN, and Yellow Submarine was kind of dry, I only wached them for the music. It's been years since I have seen any of them. PBS use to broadcasts them during their telethons.
There is a movie commercial with the song "All Together Now" playing while a man is en route to the theater. The food comes out and dances and so do colorful circles. Everybody gets into the spirit of the song.
