BBC Radio One in the UK transmits a 44-minute reflective programme on The Beatles. Suitably called Let It Be, the show (transmitted between 5:00 and 5:44pm) features the Scene And Heard presenter Johnny Moran talking individually (using pre-recorded tapes) to all four Beatles about their futures with particular reference to the possibilities of them ever working together again. Paul is asked about the Let It Be film: “It’s like a documentary, it’s like a film say of a painter who comes in and sets up a canvas, puts one brush mark on, then eventually you see him finish the painting. It’s all that he goes through to finish the painting. Well, with us, someone walks in, ‘Twang, G and C, this is how the song goes’ and eventually you see us finish the record. It’s the stages, it’s a good film though, it’s interesting.”
