; YYYY-MM-DD
*1984-12-17
; Comments
*Incomplete show. Current files feature the final 72 minutes of a two hour programme. The Men They Couldn't Hang set is also available in FM quality
*Snow is causing problems in northern England, but a travel update brings the good news that the A66 between Penrith and Scotch Corner ("always the first to be closed that, when the snow falls") has now been re-opened.
*Peel tells the story of how a listener to his BBC World Service programme in Dallas, Texas had written to him a few weeks previously. Peel had replied, mentioning that he lived there in the 1960s. His correspondent then discovered that his sister Susan knew Peel at the time and remembers giving him a ride home on one occasion. "It's absolutely true, an extraordinary coincidence. Makes you realise there's a greater force."
