[peel] Stand In Presenters

[Leo Gilbert]

Yes, I'd been wondering if people were going to comment on the shows. 
One doesn't like to be cruel, and I'm sure that I would have done a 
hopeless job in their place, but I regret to say that I found Tuesday's 
and Wednesday's shows virtually unlistenbable. The music was okay, but 
what came between was painful.

Robert Smith was great, though. That Smashing Pumpkins track he began 
with is my favourite tune for this week, and he had a lovely genuine 
air about him.

I'm not looking forward to Rob Da Bank, though. I've never heard 
anything he's done, but with a name like that, well...

Hurry back, John. Did I hear on Home Truths that he's gone to Peru?
