Peel made an archive footage appearance in series 3 episode 1, broadcast in 2016 where he is seen in a TV panel with the audience talking about cannabis. It is not known which show the original archive footage comes from, although a screenshot of it was posted on twitter (shown on the right), which looks like it came from the early 70's, where Peel had much longer hair.
