Rock and roll legend Sir Paul McCartney is set to appear in 1960s drama Mad Men.
The singer was approached by the producers of the successful show because they wanted to use some of his solo material in the programme.
However, following long talks Sir Paul, 69, ended up agreeing to take on a walk-on role as well as giving the hit TV show permission to use his songs.

A source said to The Sun newspaper: 'It's perfect timing because his new music suits the programme perfectly.
'Action in the show has now reached the Swinging Sixties. So it's only right that the man who was pivotal to the era is involved in the show.'
They continued: 'Macca could have a walk-on part if he wished but it's unlikely he'll ask for a role. He's more than happy just to supply the tunes.'

Macca was in Los Angeles this week promoting his new album Kisses on the Bottom, and he was joined by his wife Nancy and his son James.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was given another honour with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He said: 'I couldn't have done it without a certain three boys, so I want to say thanks to those guys, John, George and Ringo.'
It seems that The former Beatle is in high demand at the moment as he was handed the Person Of The Year award at the MusiCares concert in LA last night.
He watched Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Alicia Keys and Tony Bennett perform their favourite songs of his, before taking to the stage to sing a few himself.
