Half Man Half Biscuit: Show Appearances (Excluding Sessions)

Criteria

 * This is an attempt to list all appearances of HMHB on the Peel Show in the order in which they were played. Complete Peel session broadcasts are excluded, as they have their own page, but session tracks played out of context (for example, as Festive Fifty entries) are included.
