Notes: The first known copy of this interview (2:15 mins) surfaced in the late 80s as part of a compilation of BBC newsreels.
This version has removed most of the live audio of "Venus and Mars" and overdubbed an announcer briefly talking about the history of Wings.
This is the black and white version that is extremely dark with a white border around it which is partially used in the FAB DVD compile of this interview and in full on the FFD DVD.
FAB`s DVD features a compile from at least 2 different sources mostly in black and white but some colour parts taken from later docos.
The main sources come from a very dark BBC newsreel compilation and the colour parts from an American documentary broadcast in 2000 called "Great Romances" that featured Paul & Linda.
There are also brief outtakes from "Wingspan" making this compile one minute longer than the original BBC broadcast.
FAB also overdubbed the live Wembley footage with another live take of "Venus and Mars" so they could add the extra minute of outtakes to it.
