Notes: Paul McCartney gave an interview on this day for the Granada Television late-night show Scene Special.

The interview was conducted by producer Jo Durden-Smith, and was recorded in a ground-floor studio at 3 Upper James Street in
central London. The subtitle of the show was It`s So Far Out It`s Straight Down, and it was directed by John Sheppard.

McCartney discussed the London counterculture, appearing in four separate sequences in the 29-minute programme. Also included
were the editorial board of International Times, the Indica Bookshop`s founder Barry Miles, footage of Pink Floyd performing
"Interstellar Overdrive" at the UFO Club, a "happening" at Piccadilly Circus, and footage of a poetry gathering at the Royal
Albert Hall featuring Allen Ginsberg, Adrian Mitchell and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

Recently the entire TV special, in excellent quality, has come to light and is featured on a HMC bootleg DVD.
