; Comments
*Start of show: "And welcome to the first programme of the new...oh, alright then."
*The first show of the new milennium features the Peelenium from 1992 and the first five of the All-Time 2000 Festive Fifty, held over from the previous year. "I decided, in one of those mature judgements that I'm capable of making, that we should do it in blocks of five, really, because it is just the teensiest bit predictable, so I couldn't really face doing it all in like two or three programmes, but I'm sure you'll enjoy every golden moment of it."
*Peel plays the first of many tracks over the next six months from a Chess Records collection: “For Christmas I bought myself a 15-CD set, The Chess Story 1947-1956. There's a lot of stuff on there I obviously already know and probably have in a different form, but there are tunes on there that I've not heard before. This isn't one of them in fact.”
*Sheila's introduction to the Peelenium is phoned in, as they had both been up since 5.45 a.m. and she was feeling unwell.
*JP finally carries out his promise / threat, made during Private Passions four years earlier, to air a player piano piece by Conlon Nancarrow, feeling sure his listeners will be "astonished" by it. The wait is attributed to these works finally being issued on CD by German comany Wergo.
*John's claim that he cannot remember making any serious mistakes during the Festive Fifty falls well short of the mark, and in fact he makes two even at this early stage of the proceedings.
*Three versions are available: two with the complete show, the other with just the FF portion.

:(JP: 'Right. To the All-Time Festive Fifty. This is at number 50.')
*50: Pavement, 'Here (CD-Slanted And Enchanted)' (Big Cat)
:(Peel accidentally plays the B-side of the next record, 'Joe', before realising this and commenting, 'Sort of thing you always dread. I can't remember having made any serious mistake on any Festive Fifty before, but I have done this time, because I put the wrong side of this on. I'll now turn it over, and play you the track that is actually at 49.')

*48: Culture, 'Lion Rock (12 inch-The Peel Sessions' (Strange Fruit)
:(JP: 'An all-time favourite in our house, and rightly so.')
*47: Sundays, 'Can't Be Sure (LP-Reading, Writing And Arithmetic)' (Rough Trade) (started at the wrong speed)
:(JP: 'Well, once again I seriously apologise for getting that wrong. The truth of the matter is that I was so anxious to shriek along with Culture prior to that that I didn't bother to check the speed of the Sundays record. 
:A rather surprising entry, I thought, at number 46.')
