Chain Reaction

Chain Reaction was a BBC Radio 5 series in which a celebrity interviewer would choose another famous person to interview. In a "chain reaction," the following programme would see the interviewee of the previous show turn interviewer and pick their own guest.

Peel appeared twice on the programme in December 1992, first being interviewed by David Gedge of the Wedding Present and then interviewing Liverpool striker Ian Rush.

The two shows were later repeated as part of the Purely Peel tribute programme. The original broadcast dates are from Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions (p. 233).
