Jackson's eight-hour Beatles doc sees Fab Four get back to top of UK charts

The Beatles may have broken up in 1970 and two of them have since died but, in effect, they’re still together and business is brisk.

A glance at the credits for “The Beatles: Get Back,” the Peter Jackson docuseries that chronicles the making of the album “Let it Be,” shows the names atop the list to be Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison.

The nearly eight-hour documentary, which makes one wonder whether the Fab Four can still pull it off, is an initiative by the Beatles to show a less ornery view of one of the band’s last acts. It’s a rosier picture than what was shown 50 years ago in the original film made about these sessions. “Get Back,” with its share of playfulness and bickering (including a scene where George Harrison briefly quits the band), is a journey through the lads’ creative process alongside their frolic and fractures.
