Show[]

A happy John introduces a 'mystery guest', who turns out to be PJ Harvey. She plays two tracks live.
He also announces a Werefrogs competition: the entrants have to draw a werefrog, and as he points out, sincerity takes precedence over artistic merit.
Comment: 'I was going through my Norwich trousers during the week. As you can imagine, being in showbiz, I've got a different pair of trousers for every major town and city in the country.'
JP considers 'Kimble' as one of the best session tracks ever recorded by the Fall: he claims to have a cassette of it in his car.
The news during this show includes the speech given by Rodney King at the height of the Los Angeles riots, when he famously says "We can all just get along".
A short clip of this show was rebroadcast on BBC Radio 6 on 2010-12-29, as part of The Sound Of The 90s With Marc Riley. Tracks are marked π on the tracklisting below. Other 90s Peel clips played by Riley came from the programmes of 04 March 1997 and 07 October 1995.
