[peel] BBC Archives

[rockerq@...]

Peelie often used to say that he listened back to his show occasionally, he 
always hated hearing his own voice, but persevered to pick out any phrases 
which may, by repetition, have become annoying mannerisms - often when he realised 
he'd used such a phrase, he'd pull himself up with "I really must stop saying 
that".

I would have thought this was nothing to do with any official BBC archiving - 
he would have just got the engineer to run a cassette off live as the show 
went out.

In view of the fact he did not enjoy listening to his own shows, I think its 
unlikely that he would have kept any - especially living in a household with 
four kids / teenagers where re-usable cassettes would have been at something of 
a premium.

Unless anyone knows different!

Cheers!
