Not particularly.  Nothing against Kershaw or his listeners, but Peelie
struggles to fit in his own stuff in the hours that he has, so you'd 
probably get the worst of both worlds - not enough to satisfy the 
Kershaw fans, while Peel loses nearly 10% of his show.

I also mailed Peel when he asked for ideas for a regular feature 
advising him to forget it and treat the Peelenium as a one-off.  I 
don't think he needs any regular features and don't think the show's 
suffered from the lack of a replacement.

And he did play something by Big Flame, as I requested, so that was a 
bit lovely.
