SIR – It brought back memories to see the photograph of Paul McCartney in the Telegraph & Argus in Saltaire 1968 (T&A, May 4).

McCartney had been commissioned to write the theme tune Thingumybob for a new TV comedy drama and hired the Black Dyke Mills Band to record it. The tune was released the same year on The Beatles’ Apple record label.
