James Corden trades the Late, Late Show for a sort of Magical Mystery Tour this week, while the cast of Amazon Prime show Mammals transforms into The Beatles for a house party.
The actor plays a Michelin-starred chef in the new six-part Prime Video series from Jez Butterworth, the acclaimed writer of hit play Jerusalem and co-writer of the 2015 Bond film Spectre.
But he seems to be away from the kitchen for a night in party scenes from the latest episode, where lead character Jamie and three friends don psychedelic military costumes from the Fab Four’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover.
Fab Four: James Corden trades the Late, Late Show this week for a sort of Magical Mystery Tour as the cast of Amazon Prime show Mammals turns into The Beatles (LR: Colin Morgan, Melia Kreiling, James Corden and Sally Hawkins)
The real deal: The Beatles changed the face of popular music with the album after its release in 1967
With Corden dressed in John Lennon’s iconic lime green suit, co-star Colin Morgan arrived as his songwriting partner Sir Paul McCartney – complete with a fake mustache.
Elsewhere, Melia – who plays Corden’s film wife Amandine – opted for drummer Ringo Starr’s ostentatious silk lilac outfit, while Sally Hawkins imitated the late George Harrison.
However, the wild excesses of late 1960s London are traded for drinks and dips as the four friends dance in a modest living room while celebrating a dress-up themed birthday.

The show revolves around Chef Jamie and his sexy pregnant wife Amandine, nestled in their cute London stalls and seemingly madly in love.
Flashbacks show viewers that he courted her when he was a junior cook on a yacht on which she was a passenger – engaged to someone else at the time.
In the present day, Jamie discovers that Amandine is cheating on him and recruits his brother-in-law Jeff, played by Morgan, to help him find out who her lover is.
To make matters worse, Henry Lloyd-Hughes’ Jack, despite being a former lover of Amandine’s, still plays an important role in their lives.

“I remember reading episode one, four pages later, thinking, ‘Okay, I think I know what this is,’” Corden told MailOnline. “Then five pages later I thought, ‘Oh no, that’s not it. It’s this…”
“Then about ten pages after that, I thought, ‘Okay, I have no idea what this is or where it’s going, but I can’t wait to do it.’
Mammals will be available on Prime Video starting Friday.
