 * Comments
 * Start of show: "Why do people always have a go at Belgium? This is the programme that quite likes Belgium."
 * Lynn the office junior thinks this is the Pastels' second session, John avers it's their third (and he's right).
 * John's PC (and six months of Flossie's coursework) has been wiped by a virus. "It's one of those things, you think, some needledick in the United States feels that it's pretty cool to wipe out Flossie's coursework, and you think, What is the point of that? I'd like to get my hands on that little bastard."

Tracklisting

 * Crocodile God: 'You're Not Me (LP-Stella)' (Crackle!)
 * (JP: 'I apologise for disappearing off your radios in the middle of last week, and I'll explain that later. Of course, I took the Peelenium with me, but we return with the Peelenium tonight.')

 * 23 Skidoo: 'Porno Base (LP-Seven Songs)' (Fetish)
 * Pastels: 'Star' (Peel Session)
 * (JP: 'Let me explain my absence at the end of last week. Wednesday night's programme, you probably noticed, was a repeat of the one when the Peelenium was up to 1932, I think, and then on Thursday night Lammo sat in for me. What happened was that I was in London at Radio 4 actually, on Wednesday morning, and I got a phone call to say that the Voice had collapsed in our kitchen and smashed her head on the tiled floor and been taken to hospital. In fact, she spent the weekend in hospital in Bury St. Edmunds. Obviously, this was a very nerve-wracking time for all of us, because she was quite ill, to be honest, but she's all right now, and in fact has been to Portman Road this evening to see Ipswich playing, and perhaps may come in and give us a match report, if we're very very lucky. I think the car just drove past the window, because this programme comes to you from Peel Acres, and so she should be back in the house in a matter of seconds. But a frightening few days for meself and our children, but as I say, the Voice is in fine shape now.')

 * Stomp & Weaver: 'Satellites (12")' (Hardleaders)
 * (JP: 'I was going to ask the Voice about tonight's football, but I think she's with her mates in the kitchen, and not where her place is: at her husband's side. Don't write to me about that: it was a sort of feeble joke.')
