The documentary features a brief archive clip from the BBC show Eight Days A Week from November 1983 with Peel commenting on Wham's single Club Tropicana stating, "I wasn't too keen on the 'Casablanca' single or whatever...". After being corrected on the song title he adds, "I knew it was one of those places". 
The documentary makes no mention of Peel being an early advocate of the group, playing their single "Young Guns (Go For It)" some weeks before it became a hit.
