What the hell is Disney Plus? Is that PPV? There are so many bloody TV platforms now, I don't know how to watch a programme.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Yeah Disney's a monthly subscription channel.

It is available on some IPTV if you have that?

It’s fantastic I’m onto the 2nd episode now

[WeeRussell]

I’m really confused.. it’s a film, about the Beatles, split into episodes.. on a ******ing Disney channel?!

😆

*I’m exaggerating.. I know Disney+ does more than their cartoons these days.

The Blue Meanies might wish to point out that the lovable moptops have a bit of cartoon history themselves.

Did they have to bid for the rights and Disney paid the most?

Sounds likely mate but asking the wrong person - I’m neither a Disney + subscriber or a Beatles fan.

I’m sure someone else will be along to HELP shortly.

It’s about 8 hours long in total.

Really fascinating stuff watching the dynamics of the four of them.

I’m not a huge Beatles fan but I’m a music fan it’s basically just them in the studio rehearsing and creating music.

Love it

I've watched the first 3 hours or so - it's really interesting. Amazing to watch "Get Back" get created from scratch.

So many platforms to pay for these days, i wish they'd all come together and we just had to pay for one.

[Pretty Boy]

Watched the first couple of episodes and loved it, can't wait to watch the rest.

I'm a huge Beatles fan both in terms of their own music and their influence so was always going to like it. I know it was what Peter Jackson was aiming for but I just like watching them have fun. The narrative around Let it Be, in no small part due to the previous film about it, was that they were miserable, fed up and going through the motions. This seems to go some way to dispelling that myth.

Tbh as far as Beatles albums go, Let it Be isn't a great one imo. Philip Spector overproduced it, it would benefit from being stripped right back. It's still fascinating to watch the band at work though.

:agree: The other night BBC showed McCartney doing Long and Winding Road solo, just him and a piano, and it was much much better than the version on Let It Be.

There was the Let It Be 'naked' version released a few years ago. Much better, IMHO, having the original productions minus Spector's orchestrations. Of course Spector was basically given the tapes of the Let It Be sessions because the band didn't want to work on them together by that point. Abbey Road was completed, with Let It Be left hanging around incomplete.

"Let It Be - Naked" now makes perfect sense.

Finished it today felt a little bit emotional at the end.

Plan to watch it again to see bits I’ve probably missed.

Superb.

I enjoyed it - lots of them sitting about chatting but still really enjoyed it.

The bit near the end with the policemen was funny - all the delaying and that, the boy was raging and kept chewing on his helmet. McCartney's look over and wee grin when he saw them was funny.

I subscribed but it's not coming up when I search. Can you help me with the correct name of the series please?

The Beatles: Get Back

Thanks, but it's not on the Disney+ I subscribed to. No idea if it's different streaming options on a tv or other device. I'm searching using my on-line device.

Check your settings it’s probably a 15 rating I had the same issue with the walking dead you need to change the parental setting.

I changed my settings to 18+ but still nothing. No idea what I'm doing wrong.

Watched it, I really enjoyed it. Like you will probably watch again for the same reasons.

That's what it's all about really. Seeing them create would be fascinating. I'm not so bothered about the banter stuff. I found Lennon in particular a right pain in the neck.

i finished watching this yesterday, had been waiting until I had the house to myself to watch it on peace. My Dad was playing them as I was growing up so I've always been a fan. I bought my first vinyl copy of the Let it Be album using money from my paper round which makes it older than many of posters on this site. :greengrin Despite it's awful press I always loved it. Phil Spector didn't do a bad job, he just didn't do the best job he could have done. I love Let it Be Naked and the originally planned Get Back album by Glyn John's. I wish they had just released the latter at the time but I can see why they didn't, it's pretty raw. Its great having three versions to choose from though, let's us all make up our favourite album using tracks from all three. Or am I the only one geeky enough to do that. :greengrin

I absolutely loved this series I was initially disappointed that we weren't getting the originally intended cinema release but I love that we got a much longer running time. It certainly killed the idea that these sessions were a joyless experience for all as suggested by the original Let it Be movie. It was as much a film about friendship as it was about music, those four guys obviously still loved each other. I loved when they were just talking about last nights tv etc. The sequence with Heather McCartney was particularly heartwarming. Her confused look as Yoko screamed in to a mic followed shortly afterwards by her copying her with John Lennon saying 'Yoko? ' was superb.
Watching them at work was something else. The creativity coupled with hard graft put in by them all was awesome. The scene where Get Back was coming together showing McCartney playing followed by George, Ringo and a just arrived Lennon joining in gave me goose bumps. George Harrison 'helping' Ringo to write Octopus's garden put a pretty big smile on my face as well.
After discussing it with a fellow Beatles nut I realise I've missed loads. Guess I'll have to watch the whole lot again. :greengrin

DVD / bluray release coming later this year.

[Jay]

I loved it. I learned so much about them and their personalities I didn't know. So sad to think just 11 years later John Lennon was killed. It kinda made that hit harder.
I sometimes have it on the background just listening to it as I potter around the house. It's so good

I grew up with Beatles songs being played and sung as a big part of my early life.
Everything the Beatles did was major news back then, their songs and films just couldn't come quickly enough for their massive, eager audience.
Mum's, dad's, brothers, sisters, everybody loved the Beatles, and we were all devastated when the band broke up in the early 70s.

This 'Let it Be' 3 part Docu Film was excellent.
Seeing them composing, chatting and the interaction between them all was superb.
Seeing the 4 of them again as young fresh faced laddies was immense and a great watch as well. It's a fantastic historical record of a pivotal moment in our musical history.

I hope the movie wins many awards as I think it should.

Ps, anybody who hasn't watched the Michael Caine Docu movie My Generation should watch it as that captures the early 60s feeling brilliantly and it has some Beatles footage in it too 😉

Watched it last week and loved it, you start to see the drift in their direction, George being the one drifting more and becoming distant, while Paul and John just bounced off each other idea wise and Ringo sitting there just going with the flow. Understandably they split not long after, the cracks were showing but my biggest gripe was Yoko Ono shadowing Lennon all the time every minute, bit weird.

I heard someone say that it was shortly after she’d had a miscarriage and Lennon didn’t want her to be alone so said he’d record if she could be there with him.

[Jim44]

Watching part one right now. It’s fascinating seeing them kicking around all the songs we now take for granted.

If that's true then fair enough, just found it a bit creepy.

Love watching them put tunes together and hearing the original lyrics to classic tunes.

Given what they'd been through with Beatlemania, the death of Brian Epstein and the sheer volume of work they put out, it's pretty miraculous they were still able to function at all, let alone be just about to produce Abbey Road, one of the greatest albums ever.

The angsty post-breakup period (Too Many People, How Do You Sleep? etc) didn't really last that long. Lennon & McCartney were back in touch and saying nice things about each other within a few years. McCartney's song "Here Today" written not long after Lennon was killed is beautiful. Almost a love letter.

I'm pretty sure they'd have worked together again if it hadn't been for John Lennon's untimely death.
