Peel played tracks from Flying Saucer Attack on his shows and when Rachel Brook left the group to form Movietone with Kate Wright, he kept interest in the new formation and invited them to do three sessions for his programmes, which they did. In 2003, Peel didn't seem to play tracks from their album, The Sand And The Stars.
