 What would later turn into the Rutles was foreshadowed by a sketch in episode 3 of Eric Idle's 1975 BBC television series "Rutland Weekend Television", in which Neil Innes accompanied himself on a piano singing what later became the song "Good Times Roll", included on the Rutles‘ first, self-titled album in 1978.The Rutles themselves first appeared later in 1975 as a sketch on Eric Idle's BBC television series "Rutland Weekend Television".The sketch presented a mock mini-documentary about the fictional 1960s band The Rutles, and featured Neil Innes (formerly of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, and a frequent Monty Python collaborator) fronting the band singing "I Must Be In Love", a pastiche of Lennon and McCartney's 1964 style.
