An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The title that this feature was given by Peel is probably a variation of the 'Peel's Big 45' spot that John ran in the mid 70s where he would give substantial airplay to a well-liked current single (see 10 December 1976 (Transcript) for mentions of this). It appears that Peel's initial idea was for daughter Flossie to spin old 78s on shows from Peel Acres, although it was wife Sheila who eventually ended up doing the introductions for the spot. On 07 January 1999, over a year before the feature eventually started, he commented:

But she refuses to do this, alas." Songs played and show dates appear on the pages below. Data was is researched from the database of this site and Phil's Mighty Database but is incomplete, due partly to missing tracklistings and occasional failure to indicate the Pig's Big 78 on BBC pages. Please help fill in the gaps.
