The Details
We gather in Soho at lunchtime.

As he eats, he scans a printed list of film titles – mainly vintage comedies – looking for something to play at his family movie night.
"It's hard to find something I haven't seen," he laments. Lunch finished, we settle next to a Wurlitzer jukebox in the corner of the room. McCartney places his phone face down on the table – revealing a case printed with a colourful holiday photo.
"Yeah, that's my grandkids. Four of Stella's and four of Mary's. ""They're all very bright," he beams, pointing to each one in turn and listing their Ivy League achievements.
