Peel returned to playing new tracks from the Undertones after Paul McLoone became lead singer, from the release of their first recordings without Feargal Sharkey, with the "Thrill Me" single featuring twice on the show of 21 May 2003. "I like it so much, I think we might as well play it again," the DJ commented before the second airing. The new singer also appeared on the band's Peel session and Festive Fifty entries of the same year. The previous year, McLoone had released a solo record under the title of "Gift Grub", a comedy album, which Peel did not play any tracks from.
McLoone performs with the Undertones and is interviewed by Peel in the 2001 TV documentary The Story Of The Undertones: Teenage Kicks, which was presented by the DJ.
