The Beatles: Get Back is slated to roll out over a three-day period next month. Peter Jackson's three-part docuseries will air Nov. 25-27 on Disney+.
Centering on the band's January 1969 recording sessions, The Beatles: Get Back utilizes footage shot in 1969 as the group recorded new songs and prepped for its first live performance in more than two years, a rooftop appearance on London's Savile Row. The songs recorded during those sessions would eventually find their place on Let It Be and Abbey Road.
The new movie features film and audio collected over three weeks. Most of the footage has never been seen before. The 1969 movie Let It Be, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, ran less than 90 minutes.
As the band worked on new material, their personal and professional relationships were stretched thin. After nearly a decade of making music together, the Beatles weren't getting along. George Harrison even briefly quit the band and left the sessions. “It wasn’t that huge in our eyes," Ringo Starr recently told The New Yorker. "We thought he’d gone for lunch like the rest of us. Then I got on the drums, Paul [McCartney] got on his bass, John [Lennon] on the guitar and we were like a heavy-metal band. ... That’s how we got that emotion out.”
For the surviving members of the Beatles, the film offers an opportunity to revisit their former years through a new perspective. "Whenever I was in the band, playing live, I’d be facing out,” McCartney said to The New Yorker. “John was to the left or to the right of me, so I never got to sort of see him perform so much. Except in the film. And there he is in massive closeup. I can study everything about him.”

We got Disney+ on some tesco clubcard points :thumb:
-
Doesn't it come bundled with Discovery +?
-
I thought it came bundled with O2, or maybe it's an add-on?
-
I have a new O2 contract and there is no mention of it. :dunno:

Thanks Simon. They have bombarded me with e-mails but I haven't had chance to look at them properly yet. I haven't even set the phone up and since my son is visiting from next Friday I might wait for him to do it. I'm sure he will give us a lot of grief over it though. :laugh:
-
To be honest, the set up is quite straightforward and the phone will walk you through it, including transferring data from your old phone.

I have a Youtube video too. This last week has been unusually busy as we have had our flat redecorated and everything has been upside down.
-
I need to get some stuff done as well. I was thinking about having new windows a couple of years ago, but the pandemic put pay to that, and my place also needs a a good declutter and a proper spring clean, none of which I can get done while my lad is here all the time.

Upside down decorators, posh.

;D Be careful buying new windows Simon as they may have to meet a higher specification since you live in a flat. You need to check your lease. Put the wrong ones in and the building may not be insured.

It's not a flat as in a block of flats. It's semi detached, one storey over garages. Some neighbours have had them fitted, and the only criteria, I believe, is that they have to look the same as the old ones, due to various covenants that were put in place when the development was built. I will check things out, but I don't think it's going to be this year now.
-
Ah, that's different. :D

And to make a s**t load of noise when they do it

I wouldn't use those charletons. Total rip-off merchants. :ack:

Checkatrade all you have to do is pay them their fee and they will push you up to the top of their pile.
They are not worth the payment. :ack:

I thought they had customer reviews. :dunno:

I can only speak from experience, but the ones I used didn't even finish the job. Never again!

I keep getting letters and emails from them asking me to join and I keep saying no as it's a waste of money and non of the decent firms in this area have joined.
It's easy to join with very little on no checks on your standards. :facepalm:
