Comments
  • Peel, somewhat unwillingly it seems, has to chair part of a phone-in competition to tie in with Radio 1's '31 Days In May' strand. He is to ask three listeners sports related questions, which the first listener wins. The prize is to go to the European Championships Final in Sweden, and share accommodation with JP himself. Later in the programme, John plays back his "professional" performance for a second time...
  • Reveals that he had to miss the Sony Awards because he doesn't have a lounge suit.
  • The final track appears to be missing, so an almost complete show. Perhaps the last fragment will turn up in the SL Tapes. PS it now has
