The Paul McCartney Special(1986)
The Paul McCartney Special Synopsis
A program originally produced for the BBC, and aired on television several times in 1986. Originally conceived as a long-form promotional piece for «Press to Play», the BBC staffer (Richard Skinner) persuades Macca to talk about much more, including one of the more in-depth interviews about Wings. All of the interview bits were done at Abbey Road studio 2, leading to some reminiscing on Paul's part. Scattered among the interview are some nice McCartney film rarities (including rarely seen promo clips/videos, concert footage from both the 1973 and 1976 tours, and even a bit of the never released "One Hand Clapping" film).
The Paul McCartney Special (1986) is a music and documentary film directed by John Howard Davies, released on August 29, 1986 with a runtime of 1h. It stars Paul McCartney and Richard Skinner. Viewers rate it 9.0 out of 10 across 1 ratings.
