Notes: The entire 10 December 1969 edition of the BBC television arts series Line-Up was devoted to Ringo Starr, whose film The Magic Christian was about to go on general release.

Although the interview was ostensibly to promote the film, it was not mentioned at all in the final cut; nor were any clips
featured. Some Beatles music was used, however: "Her Majesty", "Yellow Submarine" and "Act Naturally" were all part of the soundtrack.

The BBC`s interviewer was one of the programme`s hosts, Tony Bilbow. The footage began with Starr, wearing a fur coat and a
badge saying "Sink the Magic Christian", descending the steps of Apple Corps at 3 Savile Row, London, where he signed an
autograph before getting into the back of his silver Mercedes-Benz limousine.

Starr was interviewed in the car and on a rowing boat, rowed by Bilbow and Starr down the Thames. The conversation was not
broadcast in sequence, and jumped between the two locations several times.
