I'm wondering who owns the rights to 'Peel Out in the USA' which was 
as the name suggests shows recorded for US consumption, and 
syndicated to college radio and the like in the 80s. I think it might 
have been sponsored by Doc Marten. There's actually a set on eBay, 
sensibly priced, though doubtless it will rise in value like the 
wares from the sad individuals who are offering 'rare JP autographs' 
and the like. (I have several 'autographs though they\'re really just 
his name at the end of notes on F50s and the like... I'd have liked 
to have even seen the legendary 'Most Boring Man' rubber stamp!
I also often wonder what happened to the tapes in the notorious Peel 
tape chain and if any actually made it all the way across the US!
