*Start of show: "Well I tell you what, we've got a blinder of a programme for you tonight."
*Earlier that evening Peel had enjoyed an Indian meal with the Ruts.
*All four tracks from the Clash's 'Cost of Living' EP are played in one block.
*Three more tracks from side 2 of the Undertones debut are played one after the other. Peel had planned on playing side 2 of the LP in its entirety, following on from playing side 1 the previous evening, but had to amend his plans due to pressure of space. The final three tracks from the LP (omitting 'Casbah Rock') are promised tomorrow evening.
*Peel notes that the Angelic Upstarts 7" is at #35 in the latest Top 40 singles chart unveiled that afternoon.
