Relationship with John Peel
The most famous incident involving Peel and Burnett concerned the planned beating up of their nemesis Simon Bates.


 * Peel: [At one Radio 1 Christmas Party] Kid Jensen, Paul Burnett and myself... not a carefully honed fighting team, but nevertheless filled with drink... we went down and waited in the underground carpark at the BBC for the opportunity to beat up Simon Bates. Fortunately he didn’t turn up, or we might have suffered an embarrassing reverse, as he’s probably stronger than us.
