  • Start of show: "At least half a dozen, I reckon."
  • "An email from Maureen. It says 'John, sweet honey-bunch, what is on your plate on that advert for pension plans? It looks suspiciously like a bacon rasher to me. If so, I'm perplexed and deeply disappointed.' I can assure you that it isn't actually. All that was on the plate, and I do know this because I sat and looked at it for an entire day, were beans and a piece of fried bread and a poached egg, I mean they were renewed fairly regularly, and the most important feature on there were vegetarian sausages. In the course of the filming of this particular advert, I ate eighteen vegetarian sausages... and set new European levels for flatulence for about a week after that. It was an unpleasant experience, but sometimes when you sell your soul like that, you pay a price." The TV commercial in question was an Equitable Life Advert.
  • Maow and Meow are the same band (featuring Neko Case) and JP admits he has no idea why they changed the spelling. The Meow EP later turned up in John Peel's Record Box.
