; Comments
*Radio One is broadcasting from Merseyside this week to celebrate the opening of the new 271m transmitter. Radio One's "Week Out In Merseyside" ran from Saturday 12 to Thursday 17 March (see also You'll Never Walk Alone).
*Kid Jensen is in the Liverpool studio for the whole show, to keep John right in the unfamiliar studio. The two had also been to the pub at lunchtime (possibly The Baltic Fleet) and in the afternoon had retired to their hotel for a swim and a sauna, from which they had only just 'recovered'. They plan to go out for a meal after the show.
*Colin and Marc from Personal Column are also in the studio for a chat. A 'John Peel Lookalike' contest is held between the two contestants John Ravenscroft and Colin Brown.
*Al and Hartley from Action Transfers of Chester also turned up in the studio for a chat
*At one point Peel lists the Radio One schedule for the following day, including the The Peel and Jensen Merseyside Music Show in front of a live audience in the evening. The two wonder about make-up and what they are going to wear. (Amusingly, the BBC Genome page for that day has censored the description of Mike Smith’s early show in case the language offends.)
