The Beatles (Apple Corps Ltd.)
Beatle fans watching Saturday night's broadcast in the UK of "The Beatles in the Studio" will have an extra dimension though Twitter to discuss their reaction to the program, according to the latest Beatles blog on MySpace.
The program premieres at 8:35 p.m. UK time on BBC Two. During the show, which uses rare archive footage, never before heard outtakes and interviews with the Beatles to shed new light on the creation of their albums, "Beatles Anthology" director Bob Smeaton will be on Twitter to answer fans' questions.

The blog also has a link to a post by Leslie Woodhead regarding an upcoming program called "How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin." That post is located here. "How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin" airs on BBC Four on at 8 p.m. Sept. 6 and 10:30 p.m. Sept. 7 (both UK time) on BBC Four.
The "Kremlin" program will also air in the U.S. on PBS in November. More information about the U.S. broadcast is in our latest Beatle news brief roundup.

I'm one of your Twitter followers. :)
Having just seen the programme here in the UK my guess is it is a shortened version of the documentaries we will get on the new CDs. A few snippets of unheard studio banter with a lot of stuff from Anthology. However it also appears that Paul and Ringo have added their own comments quite recently as their current dulcet tones are apparent.
