:(JP: "Now this, after a lot of competition and a lot of soul seaching and agony, personal agony, in the middle of the night sitting up in bed staring at the ceiling, I decided that this was probably my favourite single of the year, so I'm very pleased to see it at #26 in the Festive Fifty. [...] I'm gonna try and play that in the course of DLT's Yuletide DJ dinner tomorrow evening, tomorrow afternoon rather, on Radio One, starting at 12:35. Will they play the whole record, I wonder? We will see.")
