If you're talking about the late '80s TV program with Paul, George,
Ringo and George Martin, and Martin's book 'With A Little Help From My
Friends', I'd place both in the "good, but could've been better"
category.

Neither contain any outrageous revelations, although the television
program does feature brief snippets of a few isolated tracks (the sound
montage from "Mr. Kite", and the vocal chorus from the title track).

That sounds quite a bit like the program described above. I've never
heard of any contemporary study of 'Pepper' wherein Martin exposed
individual tracks. If such a thing existed, I'd expect it to have been
widely bootlegged.

There is, however, mid-sixties footage of Martin explaining the
recording techniques he was currently using. Whether that was related
to 'Pepper', I don't know...
