"Parky" interview
Paul will be guest on Michael Parkinson's chat show on BBC1. It will be a one-hour special for which he will be the only guest. Also, he will be performing songs from the Run Devil Run album. Paul has been asked by many famous presenters from both sides of the Atlantic but Paul chose Parkinson since he is pictured on the Band On The Run cover - and back then Parkinson would only pose on condition that Paul would appear on his show, which he now finally does, 25 years later!
