the BBC website lists these programmes as being on tomorrow not tonight. Weird. Coulda sworn he died 1 year ago today.

Will watch this tonight.

He did indeed die on the 26th. Kathryn bought me Margrave Of The Marshes (Peel's semi-completed autobiography) for my birthday yesterday and I checked in there....
