25 December 1982 (TOTP)

Show[]

This was the ninth and final program hosted by John Peel in 1982 and was the Christmas day special edition featuring a wide array of Radio One DJs. This was the week's singles chart, the chart rundown having been the subject of the 23 December 1982 show.

Certain members of Duran Duran switch instruments from those they actually played during their performance of the song Hungry Like The Wolf.

Peel is wearing a Sheena Barmy Army T-shirt, demonstrating his passion for the artist Sheena Easton.

DLT : Listen John, come on, jazz it up man, it’s Christmas Day, let’s have a little ‘Hey hey! Peel : Er, welcome to TOTP. DLT : Oh, that was wonderful, John…

Well as you can see it’s getting dangerously festive here. That was Duran Duran. And up next we’ve got for you Dexy's Midnight Runners – this is “Come On Eileen”, or anybody, I don’t really mind.

That’s Haircut 100. You know, underneath all that make-up they’re covered in spots! Now my favourite No.1 of the year... very pleased to see this get to No.1... here’s Musical Youth. Flash it!
