*Show seems to end with a novelty song, "Good Luck Princess" by the pseudonymous Cromwell Brothers - a curious name for a group celebrating the wedding of Princess Anne to Captain Mark Phillips (according to Discogs their other aliases included Bill Esher and the Beacons). The lyric namechecks John Betjeman and the label gives songwriting credits to "Wagner", although thankfully it's not lifted from a work by the classical composer of that name. (Peel had already played another song on the same subject, by Scottish entertainers the Tartan Lads, on the show of 25 October 1973.)
