*The show went out on Easter Monday 1980, a public holiday in the UK. Peel comments on the traffic: "It's a curious thing that DJs seem to assume that whenever there's a Bank Holiday that the entire population, at least all the people who might be listening to the radio, are going to be in cars somewhere. I would imagine that by far the greatest number of people won't be in cars at all at this moment, and very sensibly so because I had to start out for London about three hours earlier than I usually do because of the amount of traffic on the roads. And we've heard on Mike Read's programme about people doing U-turns on motorways and that's not the half of it I don't think. I mean, the most irritating person that I've encountered over the past 6 or 7 hours when I've been stuck in traffic is the kind of person who accelerates when you start to overtake them, which is phenomenally dangerous. But it's amazing the number of people who do that. I suppose they feel that their masculinity - that's presuming they're blokes of course - is challenged in some way if you overtake 'em, and they accelerate alongside you. And when I was driving this afternoon - with the family too, I went round a corner and a bloke came - blind corner - came round the corner on the wrong side of the road and nearly swept the whole lot of us into paradise. Which brings me to Wilko Johnson, 1977..."
*The subject of Football was also cause for comment: "It's a curious thing, but whenever anybody beats Liverpool and as you realise, that doesn't happen very often, but an extraordinary number of people of my acquaintance emerge from the closet as supporters of whatever team is it that have managed to beat them. And thus it is that over the weekend an extraordinary number of people as I say have suddenly manifest themselves as Manchester United supporters and a great number of these people have never been to Manchester and in fact have no very clear idea where Manchester is. But, they have something to be proud about, I mean the genuine Manchester United supporters, because a 2-1 home win against the greatest team the world has ever seen is certainly something to be very, very proud of. And actually I'd organised my life very well prior to the FA Cup to get onto next weekend, because the John Peel Roadshow has a gig in Middlesbrough next Saturday and originally Liverpool, if they hadn't got to the semi-final, were supposed to be playing Middlesbrough you see, at Middlesbrough. So I thought that was well organised. But I can still go to the game at Sheffield and get to the gig in Middlesbrough afterwards. The only problem being of course that I can't get any tickets, can't find any tickets anywhere. So if any listeners have got any ideas, I should be most grateful to hear them."
*The live Clash tracks from the promo cassette of the 'Rude Boy' film soundtrack were all played during the show. These were repeated on 05 May 1980.
*The Osmonds will be guests on Personal Call the following evening on Radio One with Simon Bates. JP says there are press stories that their gigs are “not going particularly well.”
