Blimey, wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to find some Beatles impersonators.

Geology Rocks (and Roll Music).Ringo will be on a break from using his Liverpool accent for the duration of the episode
Ringo's not bad, but to be honest I don't care what they look like so much as the performances they give (always assuming they are the Beatles rather than some robot duplicates or something) Concentrating on how someone looks gets you Zachary Quinto as Spock, concentrating on how someone acts gets you Ethan Peck as Spock.
The woman John Lennon talks to backstage in A Hard Day's Night looks more like the Beatles than they do.Blimey, wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to find some Beatles impersonators.
They put Johns glasses on, in an era where he was rarely seen in them, just to help us work out which one was John.
Exactly the point I was going to make (albeit without the excellent Spock point).Ringo's not bad, but to be honest I don't care what they look like so much as the performances they give (always assuming they are the Beatles rather than some robot duplicates or something) Concentrating on how someone looks gets you Zachary Quinto as Spock, concentrating on how someone acts gets you Ethan Peck as Spock.

People in general get far too hung up on how actors (and not impersonators) look like the famous people they're portraying than whether or not the performance actualually captures the essence of those people (and, again, not just a straight impersonation, something that many actors actively rail against).
Peter Capaldi played George Harrison, by the way, in a 1985 television movie. I was thinking last night it would be really cool if there were a coda to the episode with the Doctor and Ruby seeing George circa 2000 (after the stabbing, before the cancer really got him), maybe gardening at Friar Park, and Capaldi reprised the role for a cameo.![]()
Opposite Mark McGann, brother of Paul, as John Lennon. Who has also been played by Christopher Eccleston (opposite Torchwood’s Naoki Mori as Yoko Ono). But I guess an Eccleston cameo as John is a bit unlikely…
I wonder if the episode will recreate the photo of John Lennon and a Dalek from, I think, 1965. Except with a real Dalek instead of one of the movie props.Opposite Mark McGann, brother of Paul, as John Lennon.

The difference being that Spock is a fictional character, while The Beatles actually exist and are real people that looked a certain way. I think that its fair to comment on appearance accuracy when the people in question actually existed, its also more offputting to see real life figures played by people who look nothing like them.
Also, and its off topic but whatever, neither Quinto or Peck act anything like Nimoy but I'd take Quinto (assuming he has a good script, which to be fair only happened in his third appearance as Spock) over Peck any day of the week if I had to choose the better second Spock.
Victoria Wood as Paul was an odd choice.
