The epic three-part documentary series “The Beatles: Get Back” offers an unvarnished and voyeuristic look at a key moment in time from the band’s history, but Disney originally wanted to make one major alteration to the footage: removing the swearing.

The nearly 8-hour documentary was assembled by director Peter Jackson from 60 hours of archival footage, but as the edit came together, Disney requested that the profanity be removed from the audio. Luckily, the surviving members of the band refused.

“Disney wanted to remove all the swearing and Ringo [Starr], Paul [McCartney] and Olivia [Harrison, George’s widow] said: ‘That’s how we spoke. That’s how we talked. That’s how we want the world to see us,’” Jackson revealed to NME in a recent interview.
