Mayo/Peel 1999-03-11

[Ed Duffy]

Thanks, Alan! Very thorough info, too.

Regarding those programmes eating into ten minutes of JP's shows in 1999/2000, I have a few of them in my 200 Box tapes (which I'll probably get around to upping later in the year). They seemed to differ night by night, one being a Technology Update (featuring equally unfunny jocular banter about IT, games, etc.), and an actually rather good Movie Update, with Mark Kermode. At the end of one of them, Kermode hands over, saying something like "and now, two hours with the legendary John Peel", to which JP witheringly replies "it's one hour fifty actually, Mark".

Nowadays of course, Kermode does his movie reviews on 5live, with Simon Mayo, which brings us back to doe.

Eddie.
