Speculation among Beatles fans that Let it Be might finally get a DVD release intensified after a recent BBC radio programme celebrating its 40th anniversary suggested that Apple were working on a restoration of the film.

The documentary directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, is the only Beatles film never to have been released on video or DVD format. Indeed, in the UK the film was only ever broadcast four times on TV – the first time on BBC1, Boxing Day, 1975 and the last time on BBC2, 8th May 1982 – leaving a whole generation of music fans without seeing the film, which includes The Beatles final live performance together on the rooftop of Apple Studios. Clips from the film are scattered throughout YouTube, and intriguingly more and more unseen footage (often in black and white) is being uploaded, which leads fans to hope that any eventual release might yield bonus material.

Let it Be Still Fascinates Fans

Nevertheless the released film is fascinating for fans – if not for the Beatles themselves who expressed dissatisfaction with that period. The film's deliberate style with no narrative, no direct interviews and in your face close-ups of individual Beatles was a far cry from the cosy formula afforded to pop TV specials of the day. Lindsay-Hogg had cut his teeth on ITV's pop show, Ready, Steady, Go! and in December 1968 had just finished The Rolling Stones Rock n Roll circus.
