with Andy Peebles
Andy meets some future tennis stars: Dr Alan Maryon-Davis assembles some spare part people and discusses vegetarianism with John Peel. Annie Nightingale tries out a new kind of convenience and Steve Wright reviews a film of his choice.
For a cyclist and a vegetarian John Peel considers himself rather fat and unfit. 'I'm probably the most untypical vegetarian you could choose - I'm not even keen on fruit and vegetables. I live on mushrooms, vegetable curry and cheese. In fact I eat so much cheese my arteries must look like piano wires. Neither do I like health food shops which seem full of Shavian socialists and fallen models.' Why did he choose this way of life? 'It's a hangover from my hippy days - believing it's not very nice to kill people or animals. But I always end up making concessions like my pair of very unhip red leather boots.' 7.0 pm
