Look at the Radio Times folks -its Comic Relief week,  Simon Mayo
is doing a 37 hour sponsored dj thing which means he'll be sharing a 
studio with all the Radio 1 djs as their shows come round.  He's doing
almost every show for 2 days.   That's all it is.  Peel has had to come
in that day because there isn't actually time in the ten minutes 
between the end of the Evening Show and the start of Peels for Mayo 
to travel to Ipswich!
