*The recording of Pete Drummond on File 1 presents the first few minutes of what was going to be the penultimate Perfumed Garden, explaining why JP had to leave the ship in a hurry, and apologising for not being JP.
* File 2 has an excerpt of JP reading the news and the beginning of Willy Walker's show. Since this is around 21:30, JP was obviously waiting in the studio to start his final show at midnight.
*Certainly Peel gives the date - Sunday 13th August - when reading the news on File 2 section of the recording. On the final Perfumed Garden, Peel says: I’m sorry I wasn’t here last night. Various confusions reigned and I couldn’t be here. Anyway, I traveled back on the train to Ipswich last night and I promised the people on the train that I would play a record for them.....It seems that he was forced to go onshore either because he had food poisoning or because his first wife Shirley ("the White Rabbit") was ill.
*This is confirmed by the Field's Fab Forty page on the Radio London website for that week. It does state that on the 10th, Peel took a day's shore leave, leaving Pete Drummond to stand in as "Head Gardener", however as that is out of sequence with the rest of the chronology of the page, it is more likely that this was meant to be the 12th. Then the next entry is: "13th/14th: Peelie returned on the tender with Cardboard Shoes [i.e. Keith Skues], Programme Director, Alan Keen and an ITN news crew. Alan brought with him recorded tributes to the station, which were to be played throughout the programmes on August 14th, or edited into a pre-recorded programme, Their Final Hour." Ed Stewart also mentions this on his lunchtime show of 13 August, part of which is available on the same tape which includes 34 minutes of Peel recorded on 10 August 1967
