New TV show about the Beatles' Apple

Former Apple CEO (and longtime Beatles associate) Tony Bramwell announced on Facebook today that there's a new TV show being made on the Beatles' Apple Corps. No other details are available yet. Coincidentally or maybe not, a search on Amazon.com for "Strange Fruit: The Beatles Apple Records," the documentary on the Beatles' record label, shows it's unavailable. It is on Amazon Prime. As we reported, the documentary had a tough initial debut back in 2012..

Watch for more details on the new Apple TV show here or on Beatles Examiner.
