Paul McCartney and Wings - Band on the Run (1x84)

:

ITV - Dermot O'Leary interviews music icon Sir Paul McCartney about his seminal Wings album Band on the Run ahead of the record's re-release in November. Sir Paul tells how he flew to Lagos in Nigeria to make the album - even though two members of the band resigned before the flight. In Lagos, the former Beatle found the recording studio only half-finished. Things went from bad to worse as he was mugged and lost his demo tapes. However, the final album went on to be a massive hit, becoming a Grammy winner and spawning two smash singles. The programme also reveals the story behind the shooting of the famous cover art.
