 * Comments
 * Announcer: ''"In a couple of minutes' time on Radio 1 247 and VHF, John Peel with his programme until midnight, and on 1500 metres Radio 2, the News Huddlines, the show with ten legs, and the Late Show."'
 * News with Don Durbridge: negotiations for majority rule in Rhodesia.
 * Start of show: "Well, here we are again, eh? Huddled around a camp fire with the stench of incinerated bacon in our nostrils, ready for another two hours of unloved records and a burst of opinionated and uninformed comments. Tonight among the records, such folk as XTC, Mike Spencer & The Cannibals, Kevin Coyne, the Byrds, Eno, Bongo Gene and Brinsley Schwarz. We also have an excellent session from Martin Carthy. But first, the hottest platter in town."
