John and Yoko: A Love Story

Rachel Laurence (Cynthia), Joe Randall Cutler (Julian), and Mark McGann (John) in John and Yoko: A Love Story, 1985

There was a TV movie that aired on USA's NBC in December of 1985 called John and Yoko: A Love Story. It was three hours long (usually a TV movie ranges two hours). Mark McGann played John and Kim Miyori played Yoko. Yoko authorized the movie. It starts off when John and Yoko met in 1966. Rachel Laurence played Cynthia while Joe Randall Cutler , Samuel Wetmore, and Paul Lockwood played Julian at different ages (5, 11, and 15). 

I can't recap the movie as I haven't seen it (that I know of? I was 4 when it aired). If you have seen it, feel free to post in the comments. It may be on YouTube. When I do see it, I will revisit this post!

Swank

Dawn French and Cynthia Lennon outside The Cavern in Liverpool, 1985

Dawn was a "reluctant" host for a British television show, Swank. I never heard of the show (granted I live in the United States, and was a young child at the time) but from what I gathered on the Internet, it was like a travel series going to city to city to check out local activities and fashion. In this particular episode, Dawn and Cynthia ride a ferry on the Mersey - Dawn got seasick and ruins Cynthia's shirt. The program aired on July 12, 1985 on Channel 4.

 

Fashion Show

George Harrison, Alex Madras, Pete Shotton, John and Cynthia went to the Revolution Club in Mayfair, London to watch Pattie Harrison do the catwalk from Ossie Clark and Alice Pollack, who was the boutique owner of Quorum, organized the event. It was on January 25, 1968.
