"Fancy a brew?"

[ken garner]

Here's another oddity from my dwindling complete show archive: the first of 12 shows in 
1996 (Mon-Thur for one week in March, April and October respectively) in which Peel 
travelled to Manchester and sat in for Mark Radcliffe on his then R1 show 10pm-midnight. 
Not a normal Peel show, then (I think you can tell it's still essentially Radcliffe's show in the 
music selection and programming by producer Lis), but very funny and enjoyable 
nonetheless, with Lard and Simon Armitage in the studio, and Number One Cup playing in 
live from Studio 3 downstairs "in the basement". This is one I taped myself off-air and 
completely forgot I had, until Roger Olive and I found the DATs of most of these shows 
waiting to be ripped at Maida Vale in 2007 (see book p186). So this one is also in the official 
BBC archive, which is a very good thing...
