(JP: 'That was certainly crass, wasn't it? Spoiled the mood of that oriental piece....And on tonight's programme, you've heard quite a lot of Viv Stanshall, but not enough: there never is such a thing as enough of Viv Stanshall, I think, also music from UFO. Now tomorrow night, we have an old session from about 1974, if you can remember that far back, from Man, and also the Radio 1 début of Models, a particularly good session that, so I hope you'll listen, and thanks very much for being here tonight. Goodnight.')
