By the end of the nineteen sixties, 32 00:02:55,944 --> 00:03:00,144 Speaker 1: when Paul McCartney wrote, Uncle Albert, his old life in 33 00:03:00,344 --> 00:03:02,784 Speaker 1: Liverpool seemed far away. 34 00:03:03,544 --> 00:03:07,424 Speaker 4: I'd moved away from Liverpool quite firmly by this point, 35 00:03:08,264 --> 00:03:11,944 Speaker 4: and I wouldn't see the family anywhere near as regularly 36 00:03:12,784 --> 00:03:14,184 Speaker 4: we might go back up for a. 37 00:03:14,224 --> 00:03:15,384 Speaker 5: New Year's Eve party. 38 00:03:15,824 --> 00:03:18,064 Speaker 4: After I moved to them, I would sometimes throw a 39 00:03:18,144 --> 00:03:22,624 Speaker 4: New Year's party with the idea of reassembling family in 40 00:03:22,744 --> 00:03:23,584 Speaker 4: the good times. 41 00:03:26,664 --> 00:03:29,024 Speaker 6: So there were a lot of jokes, a lot of songs, 42 00:03:29,584 --> 00:03:34,144 Speaker 6: a lot of wit, a lot of play. All my 43 00:03:34,384 --> 00:03:38,424 Speaker 6: uncles I can't think of war wasn't funny. But it 44 00:03:38,504 --> 00:03:42,624 Speaker 6: became less and less as time went on. They became 45 00:03:42,744 --> 00:03:45,784 Speaker 6: less and less. They died, so the older generation, my 46 00:03:45,904 --> 00:03:48,664 Speaker 6: Dad's generation, and they're all gone now. 47 00:03:49,624 --> 00:03:54,504 Speaker 4: So yeah, there was a nostalgic feeling for you know that, 48 00:03:55,224 --> 00:03:59,464 Speaker 4: and also this feeling of I've moved myself so far 49 00:03:59,624 --> 00:04:04,184 Speaker 4: out of what you know, what Uncle Albert knows about 50 00:04:04,784 --> 00:04:07,584 Speaker 4: the cotton exchange, and then getting up on the table 51 00:04:07,624 --> 00:04:10,184 Speaker 4: and getting drunk smoke in his pipe. 52 00:04:10,904 --> 00:04:15,504 Speaker 1: As Paul McCartney left his family behind in Liverpool, he 53 00:04:15,664 --> 00:04:20,184 Speaker 1: was also leaving behind an era of war and poverty 54 00:04:20,584 --> 00:04:24,184 Speaker 1: that framed the decades of his youth, the nineteen forties 55 00:04:24,584 --> 00:04:25,744 Speaker 1: and nineteen fifties. 56 00:04:26,304 --> 00:04:28,464 Speaker 7: This is a part of Liverpool, a city of nearly 57 00:04:28,504 --> 00:04:30,864 Speaker 7: a million inhabitants and one of the biggest ports and 58 00:04:30,904 --> 00:04:33,984 Speaker 7: shipbuilding areas in the world.

Paul's father 62 00:04:46,104 --> 00:04:49,624 Speaker 1: worked at a cotton mill and as mother was a nurse. 63 00:04:50,184 --> 00:04:55,304 Speaker 1: It was a striving working class home. But the effects 64 00:04:55,344 --> 00:04:59,064 Speaker 1: of the war were still very much felt in Liverpool, 65 00:04:59,504 --> 00:05:04,464 Speaker 1: a city which throughout the nineteen fifties had rationing protocols 66 00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:08,624 Speaker 1: in place and was littered with bomb sites on Rove 67 00:05:08,704 --> 00:05:09,584 Speaker 1: toward From all. 68 00:05:09,464 --> 00:05:11,144 Speaker 5: Of that, it was just like as if it had 69 00:05:11,304 --> 00:05:16,464 Speaker 5: just gone just because of the circumstances of your life. 70 00:05:16,544 --> 00:05:20,064 Speaker 4: Yeah, it had kind of gone mentally and were also physically. 71 00:05:20,704 --> 00:05:22,584 Speaker 4: It was like I was in a film.
