Can't swear to this but John Peel definitely had an extremely interesting
Sunday evening (I think) radio show in 1971 (I was listening to it at
school so it must have been then) and my suspicion is that all the Radio
1 DJs were required to do television ToTP sessions in rotation so folk
could see what they looked like so I think it was unavoidable that he
would have had appear at least once, and probably more than that.

Could be wrong tho'.   I have wierd TV memories - like I'm sure I
remember Hawkwind appearing on the Old Grey Whistle test - but that
MUST be wrong so I dunno what I'm remembering there!
