Last night, June 2nd, David Gilmour made two brief appearances on a BBC TV tribute: "There's Only One Paul McCartney". This one hour special looked at the life of the lovable moptop, and featured a serene Gilmour fifty minutes in to the show.

Talking about McCartney's varied career: "He's earnt the right, hasn't he, to have a go at anything he damn well wants to do! Be it poetry, painting, oratorios, or rock and roll". Then, five minutes later, he pipes up again: "He has struggled and fought a valiant fight over all the years to retain an air of normality in all his life and everything he has done. But, its just, you can't... he cannot have a normal life - he's a BEATLE!"
