- Comments
- Problematic opening to the show when Peel presses the button to start the intended first track (Orthrelm), but nothing happens. Instead, we're treated to Mark E Smith. JP: "In a panic I just pressed every button in the studio and that's what came up".
- There is a competition in the programme to win a pair of tickets to see the Datsuns, Mclusky and Wolves! (Of Greece) at the Nottingham Boat Club next Tuesday (29 October 2002), performances which form part of Radio One's One Live in Nottingham week.
- There is an additional competition to win one of five signed copies of the Stereolab BBC Radio Sessions compilation CD.
- Peel tells again the tale of seeing Lonnie Donegan in London in 1958 during his first visit to the capital (see Peeling Back The Years 1 (Transcript)). JP: "Lonnie came on at about 2 o'clock in the morning and I thought, this is fast living!"
- There are two consecutive Wrong Speed Moments, to his frustration and annoyance.
- The 7" played by Mickey Lee Lane was later found to reside in John Peel's Record Box of his most treasured singles.
- Sheila had been to Portman Road that evening to see Ipswich draw 2-2 with Burnley. The visitors equalised "almost on the final whistle". The choice of Pig's Big 78 is described as apt in the circumstances.
- John is very disappointed to learn that Tony Blackburn has been disparaging about him in an interview published in that day's Guardian newspaper, particularly since, as Peel points out, he had spoken favourably on air about Blackburn's appearance in ITV's "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here" over the summer (see 27 August 2002 and 28 August 2002).
