Comments
  • When reading out a list of the live Icarus Line tracks broadcast, Peel includes a fourth ("L.O.S.T.") that was not aired.
  • John and Sheila had spent Friday evening at home watching television. Their viewing included the first series of ITV's "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here". JP: "Who would have imagined that there could have been a programme from which Christine Hamilton and Tony Blackburn would emerge with credit and seem as actually rather fine human beings by comparison with some of the others? There were people in there who frankly you'd like to take a chainsaw to. It would be wrong for me to name them but at the same time - some people just come across as so unspeakably hateful."
  • They had also watched Channel 4's opera based on the life of Princess Diana - "If you saw it, then quite clearly you'll be scarred for life frankly. If you didn't see it, then you really missed a treat."
  • Peel also recommends the comedy sketch series "Noble & Silver" that is currently being shown on C4.
