Tracklisting

 * (JP: 'The reason for this unwonted perkiness is, as I explained to you before, this programme's recorded on not very much sleep, and this week I got even less because, there I was, lying naked actually, on the bed because it's quite a hot night, and I don't doubt anybody was looking with binoculars from an adjoining building, looking really rather lovely. Just lying there on the top of the bed, fast asleep: suddenly, cold water comes in through the light socket above the bed. Water pours in on top of me, cold water at that. I don't know where it came from: you don't worry about the provenance of these things when you're woke up. Poured all over me, all over the bed, so I leaped out of bed, as you would, and watched the water sinking into the bed and the mattress and stuff like this, thereby rendering the thing sort of inoperable, I couldn't climb back into it, quite clearly. So I had to get dressed and I went down to reception, and I said to the woman on reception, "I've just been driven from my bed by water pouring in through the light fixture!", and she just said, "Mmmm, I'll have to get that looked at." (I mean, she was American, hence the rather bad American accent.) Nothing like, "My goodness me, Mr. Peel, I'm terrifically sorry, have free breakfast on the house, and we'll make sure you get a free room next week."...I thought to meself, "Listen! Back home, I'd be suing you for millions and millions and millions of dollars, things like, loss of sexual potential because members of my family were going to be disturbed by this boring story over and over and over again over the next few months." Boy, I was not a happy man: I shall be looking for a different hotel next week, I think.')
