; Comments
*This was the fourth of six programs hosted by John Peel and Janice Long during 1986. This was the week's singles chart.
*“That’s Doctor and The Medics, could be No.1 next week you know Janice. Actually he’s from Liverpool , the Doctor!”
*Long : “...and Pete Wylie, he’s on the show, he’s from Liverpool. The Real Thing, they’re on the show and they’re from Liverpool. And tonight TOTP – live.” Peel : “Here’s Robert Palmer... I don’t know where he comes from!”
*"That's "a dick-head in love", Robert Palmer, and how nice to see he's turned his back on all that sexist muck.."The altered song title was, according to Janice Long, suggested by her during show rehearsals as they were both "very cross" about the sexist nature of the video. Peel said Long would get in trouble if she said it so he offered to say it himself. (Top of the Pops: The Story of 1986, BBC Four, 2018)
*“At No.21 it’s Nu Shooz, “I Can’t Wait”, in which Evangeline looks inside her coffee machine for terrorists.”
*Regarding "Sinful" by Pete Wylie: “If that doesn’t make No.1, I’m going to come round and break wind in your kitchen!”
*At the end of the programme Peel says that he's off to Nottingham to see the Very Things and Bogshed.
