John Peel was among a wide array of Radio One DJs who hosted this edition.. This was the week's singles chart.

Look for the backdrop of legendary Scottish darts player Jocky Wilson during the Dexys Midnight Runners performance. This is believed to have been a deliberate prank.

Tony Blackburn : Well the record that you’re listening to now of course comes from The Move, it’s called “Flowers In The Rain”, and 15 years ago this very day, this is the record that I opened Radio 1 up with. And we’re the only two survivors, aren’t we John?” (John pretends to be in a world of his own) “Aren’t we John? Peel : Er, yes that’s true Tony actually, that’s absolutely true. Now we’re going to enjoy the music of Ultravox.
