John Peel Night on BBC4

Not sure if anyone has posted this...

From today's Guardian...

'A night of programming in tribute to the much-missed indie legend. As you'd expect, the mighty Fall are at the heart of the night; plus, there's John Peel: In Session Tonight which features other bands he championed (everyone from Pink Floyd to Joy Division, the Smiths and White Stripes); a live BBC4 session from PJ Harvey; and Peel's own documentary on the Undertones, whose Teenage Kicks was famously his favourite song. It all starts off with a tribute featuring Nick Cave, Johnny Marr and Jo Whiley, plus unlikelier fans Alan Hansen and John Humpreys.'

9pm on BBC4 (26/10)

brilliant , definately staying in to watch that, the mighty Peel must never be forgotten. I've just been trawling through all the festive 50's from 1976 onwards on the Radio 1 John Peel page, aah the memories :) Think i've seen all those programmes before but what the heck. Must see viewing.

Got the running order here...

9.00 John Peel tribute 9.30 The Fall: The Wonderful and Frightening World of Mark E Smith. History of the indie legends. 10.30 In Session tonight. Artists championed by the DJ. 12.00 midnight PJ Harvey in concert. 1.00 Teenage Kicks: The Undertones. John Peel's visit to meet the band.

Something for everyone, methinks!

Sounds good to me - I'll be glued to my television set that night! :)
