On Saturday night at 8.35pm BBC Two are showing a new documentary called The Beatles on Record which uses rare archive footage, never heard before out-takes, and interviews with the Fab Four to shed light on the creation of all of their albums.

It's a fascinating programme and one we think Beatles fans will want to talk about while they are watching. The director Bob Smeaton, who also made the landmark Beatles Anthology series, will be using Twitter during the broadcast to join in this conversation and answer some of your questions

If you use Twitter while watching the programme and add the hashtag #beatlesbbc to your tweets you will be able to see what Bob and other viewers taking part are saying about it by looking at twitter's search results for #beatlesbbc or on Twitterfall.

If you would like to take part don't have a Twitter account you can sign up at twitter.com.

There are lots of other Beatles programmes coming up on TV so don't feel you can only use the #beatlesbbc hashtag while watching on Saturday night. It's already being used by BBC staff talking about Radio 2's Beatles bank holiday weekend shows.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment below and we'll answer it before Saturday evening.
