It sounds like Paul helped with the writing of "Gimme Some Truth" too, by the looks of the film footage. He gets no credit for it though.

Some pretty good 30 minute episodes, Rick Rubin looking pretty much like Leonardo Da Vinci talks us though Macca's back catalogue. It's nothing we've not heard already a million times before but somehow it does look a bit new.
McCartney's trying hard to be modest & unassuming but it's a bit difficult with Rubin fawning all over him and, at one point, sitting cross legged at his feet.
Worth a watch though.

On BBC sounds there are a bunch of 5 - 10 minute podcasts of Macca talking about certain key songs. Again nothing new but nice to hear.
Meanwhile there is an awful lot of good stuuff on Disney + - Taylor Swift's Folklore- Long Pond Sessions for example. I don't recommend watching it all in one go though - watch a song or two at a time.

I know it's the Beatles but I'd have been so bored and I'd have thought she might be a little self concious and buggered off to do something else occasionally, but then, i don't know how insistent John was that he 'needed' her there.

Some have suggested that it's all a performance on her part---it's all art.

Look i have no idea the layout of the canteen, but i generally think of canteens being quite big with lots of tables and other people around yet John and Paul chose the exact table the mic is at to have such an important chat and there is no background noise at all. Wowzers! Lucky or what?

Well, I think Paul was dead at this point, so the actor playing him was probably in on it, and made sure they chose that table.
Minor point - we all stand together is not about frogs, is it? But sung by them.
Less minor point - most of the time they can't wait to go to lunch.

Thanks - I'll give it a spin.

You're right! and it wasn't until the last few minutes of the last episode that I realised it was all based on a true case and story!
