Overview[]

This is an attempt to catalogue, as far as possible, the appearances by the Fall on Peel's show. Since he played at least one track by them in the majority of his programmes between 1978 and 2004, the list cannot hope to be comprehensive, but gives a snapshot of the considerable impact this band had on the show's history. Tracks are listed in date order and subdivided by years. Complete broadcasts (including repeats) of sessions are excluded, but session tracks played out of context (for example, as Festive Fifty entries) are listed. For a list of the Fall's Festive Fifty history, see Fall: Festive Fifty Entries.

Every single time a record comes along, I think to myself, this is going to be the one that's no good, and it hasn't happened yet....My favourite track of all actually is the last track on side 2, track 12 if you like, on the cassette, which is called Sinister Waltz and I've got an awful feeling we're not going to get to it before the end of this programme, but we'll press on anyway.')

Quite clearly this is paranoia as much as anything, but "roly-poly man," stuff about programmes, "talks a lot of wind," and also says has a ponytail too, and last time I met Mark E. Smith, I did have a ponytail which he very strongly objected to, so much so that he refused to have his photograph taken with me....he relented in the end, but only because it was my birthday.')
