<p id=”par-2_18″>McCartney said that he typically watches television <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/paul-mccartney-reveals-songs-gym-playlist.html/”>while he works out</a> in the morning. His taste is wide-ranging.</p>
<p id=”par-3_24″>“Well, I like David Attenborough’s shows, and in-depth historical documentary stuff,” he said in a Q&A on his <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.paulmccartney.com/news/you-gave-me-the-answer-23-questions-for-2023″ rel=”noreferrer noopener”>website</a>. “But I also like <em>Strictly</em>.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_12″>He admitted that the majority of his guilty pleasures are TV shows.</p>
<p id=”par-5_18″>“I have lots of guilty pleasures,” he said. “Maybe TV shows more than music. I love <em>Bargain Hunt</em>.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_27″><em>Bargain Hunt </em>is a British show in which contestants buy antiques and attempt to sell them for a profit. He likes an American antique show as well.</p>
<p id=”par-7_79″>“Big favourite at the moment is <em>American Pickers</em>,” he told <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/paul-mccartney-admits-hes-obsessed-23152356?_ga=2.230456220.1014649124.1641495757-649509072.1641495706″ rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Mirror</a>. “It’s great, it’s two guys Mike and Frank who go around America collecting for their antiques shop and they go to all these places, all these barns where there’s all – what they call it – rusty gold and it’s great, they find it, they bargain, it’s just a good show, they’re fun guys. Some of the stuff they find is quite amazing. So I like that.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_14″>McCartney said he likes to put on another game show <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/paul-mccartney-reveals-tv-show-watches-before-concerts.html/”>before he gets onstage</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-9_45″>“I like to watch <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-you-can-get-steve-harvey-family-feud-ruin-chances.html/”>Steve Harvey in <em>Family Feud</em></a>!” he revealed in the book for his <em>Freshen Up</em> tour. “I don’t like to watch anything too serious before a show. I like to keep it light and something you can dip in and out of.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_12″>He said he liked that the show didn’t require his constant attention.</p>
<p id=”par-11_59″>“So if I’ve got to go in the back dressing room to change, it doesn’t matter if I miss a bit of the program,” he said. “I can come back in, and ‘100 people said,’ and I’ll give the top answer, hopefully. That’s a good fun show, and I just like the fact that you can give your answer.”</p>

<p id=”par-13_86″>“I love comedy. I watch it on TV, you know <em>Live From The Apollo</em>, you see wonderful people on that. Then I like shows like <em>Mock The Week</em> and <em>Have I Got News For You</em>, I like those shows. And I like <em>Would I Lie To You?</em> I think there’s some very funny people on that, Lee Mack is a very talented boy. You sit at home with your friends or family and you say, ‘He’s lying, he’s lying”!’ That’s the kind of thing I like.”</p>
