The results are pretty startling and have prompted Paul McCartney to say that Get Back has changed his perception of the break-up of the Beatles. Peter Jackson has been talking to the BBC's Entertainment Correspondent Colin Paterson. This is 5 Minutes On - Unseen and Intimate - the Beatles, by film director Peter Jackson.
