They began as a sketch on Eric Idle's post-[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Python]] sketch show ''RutlandWeekendTelevision'', a program that ranged from CrowningMomentOfFunny to SoOkayItsAverage. One of its strengths were the musical numbers which were mostly written by Neil Innes, an occasional member of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and supporting act on Monty Python. The Rutles were born from a psychiatric patient was sick with love songs (ItMakesSenseInContext-sort of). Neil Innes played the patient, singing "I Must be in Love," which directly segued into a parody of ''Film/AHardDaysNight'' crossed with the Beatles' appearance on ''TheEdSullivanShow''. This again mutated into the {{Mockumentary}}. RWT is the source of the band's name, so the u is short, "Rut-les."

When Eric Idle guest-hosted SNL, he brought over two segments from RWT to air as shorts: Pommy, a parody of {{Tommy}}, in which the hero tries to escape from a Ken Russell film, and the Rutles. Idle was especially proud of Pommy, but naturally Lorne Michaels chose the Rutles; SNL was in the midst of publicly "wooing" the Beatles to reunite on the show. The short was a wild success, and the show received many calls asking about the Rutles (some of them even thinking that these were the Beatles). When Idle returned to England, he began writing a feature-length {{Mockumentary}} for the BBC, but when he again met up with Michaels, who offered a larger budget with NBC, he committed to doing it with them.[[hottip:*: Idle was fed up with shoestring budgets. RWT wasn't given money for a BBC light entertainment (comedy/sketch show), but for a chat (talk) show, which meant that they had to make props and do shoots for the money it takes to tape talking heads.

''The Rutles'' was perhaps the first [[SaturdayNightLive SNL spinoff]] to be made, but because of its initial failure and the nature of its rehabilitation, they aren't consistently linked. It originally aired on {{NBC}}; it was the lowest-rated program on that night. (Apparently, it aired ''just'' before the revival of Beatlemania.) It has since been VindicatedByHistory and VindicatedByCable. It is also important because it is one of the few films about the Beatles (more or less) that was made before John Lennon was killed and got the DeadArtistsAreBetter effect.
