; Comments
*Bit of a shambolic start for which he apologises, but the show soon picks up. Includes multiple tracks from the Secret Affair debut album and instructions for voting in the Festive 50.
*Gary Numan will be joining "Simon Beast OBE" and Sue Cook tomorrow evening for 'Personal Call'.
*Donna & The Kebabs are Honey Bane (formerly of Fatal Microbes) backed by Crass.
*Peel mentions that Errol Dunkley is #13 in the current Top 40 singles chart with 'OK Fred'. JP: "Don't forget, if you listen at 12:45 tomorrow to Radio One, you can hear the chart rundown and the Top 5. And I know that you, like me, will be very concerned to see whether Layla Martini is still number one in the charts. I certainly hope so and I bet you do too!"
*Records of the week for Peel's colleagues: DLT: Lenny Zakatek 'Do It Right' / "Beast OBE": Tom Petty 'Here Comes My Girl' / Paul Burnett: Red Haggle Pipers 'The Scottish Dog Dance' ("he would have") / Andy Peebles: Robin Beck 'Sweet Talk' / Kid Jensen: Pretenders 'Brass In Pocket'.
*Peel mentions that tomorrow night's show will feature a repeat of the Specials second session: "You'll find a rather pompous and silly and over-written piece about the band in the current issue of the Radio Times, written by my good self."

:JP: "This programme really ought to be dedicated to Anne Nightingale because at the last moment, just when I'd really given up, she managed to get me a ticket for the match at Brighton on Saturday, which obviously went very satisfactorily from my point of view. Liverpool had won 4-1, with goals from Dalglish (2), Ray Kennedy and David Johnson. . I also increased my terrace credibility by being thoroughly searched on my way into the ground - had to cut open the lining of my coat in order to produce my car keys, which the officer assumed was some kind of weapon or other."

:JP: "I was listening to Kid Jerkin's programme when I was driving in this evening and they were talking about graffiti on that. And I'd been reading one of those books, little excerpts of graffiti - a lot of them probably never written up on walls at all - but there was one very good one in that which is something to leave you with tonight. That is: that religion is man's attempt to communicate with the weather. I thought about that a lot. Goodnight."
