I think I remember this. The BBC (under pressure from the government) pulled a TV broadcast in the "Real Lives" series which dealt with Northern Ireland terrorism. BBC staff responded with a one-day strike in protest and Peel refused to cross the picket line.

My recollection of Pete Drummond was how out of his depth he was trying to play Peel's playlist.
