Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John for a new two-part programme. Paul, 78, said of meeting late Beatles co-star John Lennon: "I look back on it now like a fan, how lucky was I to meet this strange Teddy Boy off the bus, who played music like I did and we get together and boy, we complemented each other!"At the beginning of their partnership, "there were a few songs that weren't very good...

you know, clearly, young songwriters who don't know how to do it", he continued, on the BBC Radio 2 show."Eventually, we started to write slightly better songs and then enjoyed the process of learning together so much that it really took off."John and Paul first met in 1963.
