Notes: On this day Lennon and Ono were also interviewed by a reporter from Canada`s CBC-TV for Through The Eyes Of Tomorrow.
It took place around midday and lasted for 30 minutes, and has since become known as the Two Junkies interview.

Lennon was clearly high on heroin during the interview, growing paler and more restless as it progressed. Eventually he said
"Excuse me, I feel a bit sick" and the camera was turned off. The second half of the conversation was noticeably livelier, and
Lennon discussed live performances, inspiration, and the couple`s future plans.

An extract from the Two Junkies interview was used in the 1988 documentary Imagine: John Lennon, in which Lennon discussed being counted both out and in on "Revolution 1".
