Links To Peel
Peel travelled to the country in 1992 when it was known as Czechoslovakia, as part of a BBC Radio One campaign on work opportunities in Europe. He travelled through different European countries and interviewed Micha Glennie, BBC Central European Correspondent, from a Prague Pub on his 16 October 1992 show.

Many Czech musicians were played on Peel's show and one of them, Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa, did a session for his programme in 1993.
