When the Beatles first came on our show, Paul McCartney asked [Parkinson] for [his] autograph for his mum." "The third time they were in," he added, "Paul McCartney said they had no agent and asked me if I would manage them. Paul asked me to take on the job as manager, which I turned down for some reason.
