- Sixth of eight shows in the Fall In August series.
- Start of show: "It's the 14th of May 1985, and Smith, Smith, Scanlon, Rogers, Burns and (Steve) Hanley recorded a new session, which we'll hear later on. Meanwhile, back on Radio 1, pre-FM, a slimmer, lovelier Peel is playing this."
- John recalls records that he played featuring Radio 1 DJs, including the Trainspotters (Mike Read) and Dawn Chorus & The Blue Tits (Liz Kershaw). The latter's Undertones cover is aired in this show.

- (JP: 'As members of my family will confirm, if you're interested, my memory is completely shot to pieces: too much aluminium in my diet, eating those hubcaps, I think, and I simply cannot remember, in fact if you were to say to me, "Have you ever played a record by They Might Be Giants?" I would almost certainly have said no to you. But, checking through the old running orders, I found there was a flexi-disc, probably worth a great deal of money now.')
