ago I was talking to Radio 4 about the influence of narcotics
on popular music and now I'm being Jakki Brambles. Rum old

Does anyone remember the week John sat in for Jakki Brambles
on the lunchtime show in 1992? Incredible radio! Like all his
shows, in fact! As much as I loved Morcambe, Cobain and
Strummer, no other celebrity's death has ever affected me like
this. He stopped to mend my Dad's puncture once on a deserted
Suffolk B road. When my Dad called at Peel Acres with a bottle
of wine, John invited him in for dinner, and never once
alluded to his celebrity. Dad, being the conservative he is,
took 6 months to realise who John was, but I think today he
feels nearly as sad as me. God Bless you, John.

In 1993 Peel took over the lunchtime
slot for a week after then-controller Johnny Beerling was
challenged by someone at a conference. He'd obviously been
told "Look man, we don't want to compromise your show, but
remember there will be a different audience listening, and we
do have a daytime playlist to follow... just bear that in
mind, OK?" First record - "Why Are People Grudgeful?" by The
Fall, followed with the obscure reggae original version of the
same song. He then continued in the same vein, playing a lot
of hard-trance, the odd Beefheart classic and making snide
comments about most of the playlist. For instance, the Chris
Issak which included the line '...and you can't do a thing to
stop me' to which Peel retorted, "Yes I can, mate, I can take
your awful CD out of the machine and throw it as far away from
this studio as possible." For a brief moment, we thought we'd
won. Next week, he was back on the night-shift. Bet off.

John Peel in for Jakki Brambles in 1993

I LOVED it when John Peel took over the Brambles spot for a
week. He was compelled to play the A list, but was somehow
allowed to pepper the show with his own selections that were
usually found on his nightime show. Hate faxes abound from
disgruntled housewives; factory bosses and lorry drivers, but
John soldiered on unfazed. I get the feeling, had he done
this, in the last couple of years filling in for Jo Whiley or
Colin and Edith for example, the reaction would have been
different. But maybe that's just me. Enjoy... ...

How about the marvellous week in April 1993 when he sat in for
Jakki Brambles on the Radio 1 lunchtime show? He opened one
show, possibly the first, with The Fall's cover of Why Are
People Grudgeful? That is in itself dazzling. Mark Lamarr
actually paid specific tribute to that week whilst sitting in
for Radcliffe the other night. He went on at great length to
Mark Radcliffe on the phone about the Brambles stint,
demolishing her spectacularly, praising Peel and then playing
50ft Queenie.
