Paul McCartney on TFI Friday !

....''Flaming Pie'' etc.

[@tyronerodgers]

[@bonnerscott5374]

How do you think paul feels...

[@ChrisOnTheKeys]

I was a big fan of the show and used to watch it every week, and im a big Paul McCartney fan so I was over the moon when he came on

[@ClaudioDirani]

One of Paul's best ever appearances on telly, along Last Resort and Up Close.

[@davidwalker1590]

Great voice and good songs.

[@Mina-ok5qm]

This was adorable!! I've never seen this before

Thank you so much for this, McCartney is really good. Vox amp in the back on stage. People so near him as he sings, Fantastic!

Nothing better than a two head Paul. Twice the loveliness!! 🥰

My favourite TFI as he's my favourite everrrr

[@enricosanchez894]

Two-headed Paul.

[@EmmaRiddle543]

🤣🤣🤣

[@nigefal]

Forgotten how great this show was. Near Constant energy from Evans, and crowd. Always had an edge such as Evans saying McCartney was actually playing with himself! Plus I remember buying this album on the back of the Beatles anthology. It still holds up well no frills simple.

[@AsgardsValkyrie]

I nearly went deaf because of the intro

[@jamescutler4515]

Could 'I'm the man on the flaming pie' be code for I am/was the Beatles.?

[@terryhassle]

a one man band

[@tommeredith7079]

Such a shame only two Beatles are living. Ringo Star is an amazing human being and you can't say enough good things about Paul McCartney. After the break up of the Beatles we got a glimpse of what a great artist and human being George Harrison was. There is no telling what John Lennon would have accomplished had his life not been cut short by a crazed idiot.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Brilliant celebrity questions... Robert Smith, Shaun Ryder, Georgs Best and Frank Carson. BLIMEY

[@michaelkearney-mm6yn]

I think Chris Evans should make a bequest of his body for complete scanning so he can become a permanent AI presenting TFI Friday as everything went wrong when he stopped doing it. FACT. Paul McCartney already did this for Halo and even if he didn't, had been photographed enough from all angles to be rotoscoped into a virtual him by me in the eighties! Let's be 'avin it, la

[@michaelkearney-mm6yn]

But is Macca Zaphod Beeblebrox or does he insist on subliminally promoting the idea he's a double at every opportunity? ONLY SMART Es HAVE THE ANSWER

[@swy334]

Cool to know he likes nirvana

[@chrisspathelf2310]

Horrible interview can't believe this show was on channel 4 whatever kind of channel that is in the United Kingdom. Seems goofy to me and it looks like McCartney has two heads. It was really cool to see a bunch kids cheering for him still after all those years I don't think you would see that today.

fucking good replacement lol

[@ForeverConsciousResearch]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJfCdYBta711b68 There are endless examples out there, but after spending much time on the topic those are a few of the more revealing ones... Some come out of the Beatles very own mouths. I mean seriously, why is George calling him William to his face? Why is Georges Wife Olivia calling him Billy at the premier of a Benefit show for George? Why is he being called Beatle Bill? Why is Dana Carvey calling him Billy? Etc, etc. If necessary please just hit pause in between each clip if it's going too fast. Virtually every example listed is officially sourced material that you can go out and verify on your own. Never stop asking questions.

And John Lennon was actually pretty posh...more so than Paul,George or Ringo, who were all more working class.

[@Michael-hc2vs]

Hardly posh, just not as working class as the other 3.

they were scouse, no such thing as posh

[@Lennon6412]

Lennon went to grammar school as well. McCartney lived on a council estate

[@CB-xr1eg]

Can't believe you guys are actually arguing over which Beatle was posher. Is there such a thing as a posh scouser anyway?

[@itkapatanka]

non of the Beatles were scousers, just Liverpudlians.

The guy actually had the guys to say to Paul that George is weird... that was not funny.

....yes, he's supposed to be a big 'fan' too...but people believe stuff that's in books they read - the Giuliano book about George for example.

[@StevesHornet900]

....maybe he just meant 'eccentric', after watching the video to 'Ding Dong Ding Dong' ?!....and Maybe 'Crackerbox Palace '?

[@zephyrquartz]

Those are great songs of George's! What's wrong with being weird or eccentric? They indicate creativity and a creative mind. To paraphrase Paul, 'Finally I realised it was the people who were saying people were weird who were weird!'

Paul's a good lad, aware human, has many good qualities!. All the Beatles -character-wise, are the best sorta human. The Beatles did not completely go to any of their heads! But how strange John & George have been away for a while now (George -3ish years after this interview, this was before his attack!) 'Chaos & Creation ...' and 'Band on the Run' are my favourites from the Macca man!

[@SusanGoldberg-l9p]

An impersonation of paul. The two heads of paul is a clue that there were two.

Paul was about 55 here still youthful and still relevant.
