Links To Peel[]
On his 18 September 1987 (BFBS) show, Peel claimed that Repo Man was one of his favourite two movies ever:
"I just opened another present, in fact: I should have more of these birthdays, perhaps several a year, like members of the Royal Family. I think it's only the Queen that has two birthdays, but I reckon I ought to have a couple as well. My chum Winston Smith has sent me posters and still photographs from my two favourite films ever, which are Repo Man and The Blues Brothers, so those will be up on the wall back at Peel Acres before you can say 'night'."
Peel played a track from the movie by Suicidal Tendencies called 'Institutionalized', which was a song that he would quite often play on his shows.
