- Show intro is missing.
- Peel recalls meeting the Cure at this year's Reading Festival, for which he acted as the compere.
- Madame X of the New York Blondes was rumoured to be Debbie Harry of Blondie.
- More records from Scandinavia (Mean Ones, Ebba Grön, Kriminella Gitarrer). See 29 October 1979.
- Peel explains the spiritual deity Snibri that he and John Walters worship - "the god of small coincidences which work to your advantage".
- A terrible Britt Ekland pun accompanies the second of the Swedish records, for which Peel subsequently apologises: "I'm after a morning programme to be honest with you. So, this is your hairy cup of cocoa coming down the A45 from Bury St Edmunds..."

- JP: "If the Dodgems themselves had disappeared after writing that song, they'd have contributed more to our lives I think than most people do in a lifetime."
- JP: "Well I suppose really when it comes right down to it, it's the train bit that does it, but it's a very good single for all that and I must try and persuade some of the other lads to play it if I can, because I think it would be good to hear that on daytime radio."
