Filmed in 1974 and now remastered (not that you'd notice) for a cinema release, One Hand Clapping is the latest thing to come out of Paul McCartney's ongoing project to clear out his shed. It's good though! In this bonus episode we talk about how the idea behind its release might be as a sort of Get Back-lite, and whether that stands up, about the dynamic between Paul and the rest of the band, and about the "very special" bit at the end, which you won't see on the YouTube version, where Paul plays some acoustic songs in the Abbey Road back garden. Plus: Linda McCartney was very cool indeed.

• Our rant about cinemas agreeing a policy on start times shouldn't be read as shade thrown at Picturehouse cinemas, by the way: they are lovely cinemas and someone gave us a free poster.
