21 favourite funny tweets about the Beatles documentary

Back in 1970, Michael Lindsay-Hogg made a documentary about the recording of the Beatles’ final studio album, Let It Be. It had a running time of 80 minutes and included the iconic footage of the rooftop performance that stopped traffic on and around Savile Row, before being shut down by the police.

51 years later, Lord of the Rings director and Beatles superfan, Peter Jackson, has made a three-part series out of the unseen footage, and it shines a fresh light on the band’s dynamic at that time.

But Twitter being what it is, there had to be jokes – and we really enjoyed these.
