- Christmas documentary: Teenage dreams so hard to beat
You’ve gorged yourself on food, now sit back, relax and have a glass of your favourite tipple while listening to this documentary which celebrates the life and work of John Peel. Presented by Jarvis Cocker, it was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 1 shortly after John’s death in 2004. It features contributions from artists such as Led Zeppelin, Billy Bragg, Pink Floyd, Ash, Orbital, the Cure and Captain Beefheart.

Happy Hols, I’ll return soon with the rest of the 2009 Festive 50.
- John Peel on ‘Hard Talk’, 1999
I don’t particularly enjoy this chap’s interviewing style, truth be known, although in this case I think the interviewee makes it worth watching.
You can tell that Peel’s already got the autobiography in mind, quite a lot of this ended up in Margrave of the Marshes, but it’s still a good watch.
