- Comments
- Two complete recordings of the show are available. The first, at almost five minutes longer, suggests it is running a little slow.
- The Bing Crosby Peelenium track is cited by Peel as one of his favourite records ever, and is dedicated to his brother Francis Ravenscroft, who gave JP a copy of the record when he was 10 years old, "and I've not stopped singing it since."
- John, watching the TV monitor while working, is depressed that Kelly Brook has been fired from the Big Breakfast, as he thought she was "a breath of fresh air."
- John reveals, in response to a listener query, that he is an honorary doctor of music. "I can legally and legitimately call myself doctor now, and often do. Nobody else does."

- Footnotes
- ↑ Overlooked in consideration for the 1928 Peelenium. John rightly notes the risque nature of the song lyrics, originally written by Tampa Red.
- ↑ JP completely misses the allusion in this "very silly title" to 'Several Species Of Small Furry Mammals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict' from Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album.
