This was a radio interview for "Desert Island Discs" in 1982. This clip was filmed as part of the 40th anniversary of the programme showing excerpts of Paul in the studio, as well as other guests of the programme.

The full radio interview with Paul, including the songs, lasted one hour. Try searching "Desert Island Discs" and you may find the audio somewhere. Let us know how you get on...

This is a great find for me today. Thank you for posting these. Very touching.

Thank you for the appreciation. This was recorded on our first VCR before a lot of people had them, and one of the first things I kept. I'm surprised the tape hasn't disintegrated by now!

I don't care about the crap that has flown around the last 40 odd years - Paul loved John dearly, and this is proof! One of the greatest friendships ever!

Some times looks like Lennon´s fans hates Paul because he´s still alive....that is so sad!!! I mean....I miss John...I wish he were alive too....but it is not Paul´s fault!!!

does anybody know what classical song is being played at the beginning? It sounds so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.
