Tom Ravenscroft returns with a second series of Peel Acres. Each week, he welcomes a different music lover to the home of his late father, former BBC Radio DJ John Peel and his legendary record collection.

Tom's guests lend a hand (and two ears) in making sense of this vast music archive, which is comprised of more than 120,000 albums, 12 inches and seven inches, collected over a lifetime and meticulously catalogued.

In this episode, two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and star of The Mash Report Nish Kumar visits the house, where he digs out records from the likes of Captain Beefheart and Roots Manuva. Also, he happens across the most unlikely Sex Pistols cover album and a Bob Dylan rarity that literally takes his breath away.

Also, we hear tales from the early days of his career; including why a bit of a whiff is vital for a good comedy venue, how a trip to a Sheffield museum changed his musical landscape forever and why a Hearsay Doll ended up in the greatest record collection on the planet.
