Notes: The other exclusive interview Paul granted after his press conference was with the Norwegian children`s show "Midt I Smoroyet" ("In The Middle of Butter Island") a reference to a Norwegian food dish.
Paul was interviewed by a 14 year old girl and was also presented with a gold record.
Following this there was an unique and well made video featuring Norwegian children set to Paul`s song "This One" that also combined the Beatles "The End".

Notes: "CBS News" and some other programs around the World featured this very same item which I suspect
was actually filmed by Reuters and sold to other news services as they all contain the exact same footage.
Apart from footage of "Figure of Eight" from the Drammen concert they also featured a very brief portion
of an interview done after the press conference - one of only two exclusive interviews from that day.
I have yet to find anyone who has broadcast this interview in full which was surely much longer.
