Mid January 1969 saw The Beatles hunkered down in the huge and cold Twickenham Film Studios, filming rehearsals for what eventually became the album, Let It Be. 57 hours of raw film footage was compiled into a new documentary series, Get Back, showing everything from the birth of classic songs, to George Harrison's sudden departure of the group. And that's where we kick off in Part 3.
