Lewis recalls McCartney warning him not to invite journalists to a Beatles reunion

What was said

"Paul said to me, who are those people? I said, oh, that's all right, they're just a couple of journalists from— bad idea."

Martin Lewis recounts organising a 40th anniversary screening tied to the DVD release of A Hard Day’s Night and inviting two broadsheet journalists. He says Paul McCartney objected on the basis they would “knock it”, and that a negative write-up appeared a week later, prompting Lewis to apologise to McCartney.
