*Radio One had organised "a bit of a do" the night before at King's College Students Union in London, to celebrate Peel's 40 years in broadcasting. It featured live performances from Pulp, Nick Cave and Billy Bragg. Extracts from these sets are scheduled for broadcast on 11 October 2001.
*JP: "It was a great night... anecdotes from the evening will emerge as the week's programmes unfold before you. The only thing is that I played records at the end of it to an entirely motionless room. Just brought back all of those memories of all those polytechnics that I used to trek around in the Sixties and Seventies, playing records to resentful students, standing there looking at me, thinking 'who is this hateful man and why is he playing us all these horrible records?'"
*Since there is already a competition in the show, to win tickets to see Melt-Banana live, listeners who would like to see the following evening's performances by Bearsuit and the Loves at Maida Vale are invited to just send in an email instead, from which the lucky winners are drawn.
*Something goes awry when Peel attempts to play the first batch of session tracks from Locust and the old Grinderswitch signature tune somehow starts playing.
*Peel has to stop playing the Future Cut track and transfer the vinyl to another turntable when the first one proves to be defective.
*Perhaps as a consequence of the above, the John Peel Sweet Eating Game (Clip) gets a mention.
