Paul McCartney surprises Paul Simon on live television

Hard to believe this really happened, but it did. There was Paul Simon busy promoting his Rhythm of the Saints album and answering all the usual questions on the Saturday morning kids' show Going Live, when all of a sudden who should phone in? Only Paul McCartney! This was broadcast on 13th October 1990, and the surprise on everyone's faces (including presenters Phillip Schofield and Sarah Greene, who clearly weren't in on it) is something to behold. Definitely one of those "moments" in televisual history.

(Please remember that this is an off-air VHS recording, so don't go expecting 1080p HD quality. I'm fairly certain that this video isn't commercially available, and I've uploaded it for its historic interest only.
