The "Only a Northern Song" segment was among the clips shown in a feature about "Yellow Submarine" on the television show "How It Is". Produced by Tony Palmer and including portions of the stage play based on Lennon's book "In His Own Write", the show was broadcast on BBC1 two days after the film's world premiere in London, on 19 July 1968. By the early 21st century, "Only a Northern Song" was the only music clip from "How It Is" circulating among collectors.
