Peter Jackson has revealed he successfully convinced Disney to allow for swearing to be included in his upcoming documentary The Beatles: Get Back.
Although it’s the first time that Disney Channel has allowed the broadcast of foul language, the 60 year old film director stated that the channel was not allowed to use it in an offensive or sexual fashion.
Three parts of the series take viewers back to 1970, when they recorded intimately and performed for their final album Let It Be.

Peter said that the movie was about “chain smokers who use guitars to play songs” and added: “We had to have an open discussion with Disney regarding the swearing.
“The Beatles were scouse boys. They freely swear, but not in an offensive or sexual manner. Disney was willing to swear, and this is the first Disney channel to do so.
“That gives them a modern feel.” People did swear back in the 1960s, but they didn’t when they were being filmed.
