 * Comments
 * JP: ”I like playing cricket, I have to say. I’m not very keen on watching it. But the last team I played in, I eventually got dumped by them for wearing an unsuitable sunhat. It’s absolutely true.”
 * Peel received an email from Terry Edwards that apparently included a request that a Ukelele Ike track be played in the Peelenium. In fact, one was played, before Peel read the message. JP: “That is freakish, isn’t it? It does make you believe there is a greater force at work. If only we could find out who it was, how wonderful our lives would become all of a sudden. But somebody’s doing it.”
 * On Lonnie Donegan: “When I was a lad, Lonnie Donegan was all there was really, and he was everything, and he was quite fantastic. And I know all of his early records off by heart, in a rather obsessive and demented way.” Peel says he’s trying to get Donegan in to do a session, possibly with Billy Bragg.
 * Currently available recording is not quite complete. Full tracklisting assembled with help from Lorcan's Tracklistings Archive. Another version of the show is upcoming from The Andrew T 90s tapes.
