- Start of show: 'Thanks, Tom [1] ....Everybody seems to be singing in French these days, n'est-ce pas?...This week's small but irritating affliction is a mouth ulcer on the underside of my tongue. So, if it sounds as if I'm trying to talk with a gerbil in my mouth, this is the reason for it. I wish I was going home, actually.'

- Footnotes

- ↑ Peel cannot remember the name of the artists who originally recorded this: it was the Untouchables.
- ↑ As JP mentions, this is actually Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.
- Random quotes
- a) Encoded in The Fall's music we find the true cognizance of late 20th century Brit-youth intelligentsia culture.
Thurston Moore
- b) If that's singing, I'll show you my arse!
