On April 17, 1969, the BBC1 programme Top of the Pops aired a clip of The Beatles performing “Get Back” on the rooftop of the Apple building, filmed on January 30, 1969. This marked the first time footage from the rooftop concert was broadcast on television. The clip was shown in black and white and was repeated on April 24, May 15, and May 22.

On Christmas Day, it was eventually broadcast in colour for the first time in the UK.
