Lost footage of John Lennon has been uncovered by documentary makers, showing him clowning around with Mick Jagger.
The film was discovered in the archives of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) by the team making a documentary about the late star.
The footage - clips of which are to be screened by the BBC programme Arena on Saturday - captures Lennon and Yoko Ono at their Tittenhurst Park house in 1969, laughing and playing chess.
The Arena team found the film can, which was marked "miscellaneous", in the archive in Vienna.
The unedited film shows Mick Jagger socialising with Lennon and Ono during filming of the never screened Rock and Roll Circus documentary about the Rolling Stones' tour of the late 1960s. It was part of a project that Hans Preiner, a young film-maker working for ORF, was working on during the 1960s.
In 1968, Mr Preiner was in London producing an ORF film on a subject of Lennon and Ono's choice for an Austrian TV series called Avantgarde. They chose the torture of media intrusion as their subject and the film Rape was made.
The lost film was extra footage shot by Mr Preiner to introduce the documentary and reveal the intentions of the concept film.
