;Comments
*Peel in a generally good mood at the start of the week and returning from "an invigorating weekend cruising round the West of England with gigs (jigs rather) in Bristol and Plymouth and a great deal of accompanying merriment". The weekend also had "two low points" however, firstly having trouble with the Peel racer on the way home (he had to "recourse to the AA" not once but twice), and secondly "The Revillos played both of the gigs but I didn't get to see them either time".
*Peel mentions the forthcoming Radio One Fun Week in Scotland and there is an announcement for the Radio One vs. Radio Scotland football match, in which Peel was also set to play, on Sunday 22 March at Meadowbank.
*A lecture held by John Walters and attended by Peel had been held "in the polytechnic just around the corner", presumably the same day as the show.
*Teardrop Explodes session repeated, possibly as they were enjoying chart success with single "Reward".
