Many of the DJs of the era were extremely competitive with one another, most - Bates in particular - treating their peers with contempt[1]. Although he didn't share their ambitions, Peel's extremely different priorities with regard to his radio work meant that he clearly had little respect for many of his colleagues, with Simon Bates being among his least favourite. Ironically, Peel had taken something of a shine to Bates in 1972, when he first turned up at Radio 1 as a newsreader (Margrave Of The Marshes, p. 328-9).

Fortunately he didn’t turn up, or we might have suffered an embarrassing reverse, as he’s probably stronger than us.[2][3] * Peel (having been invited to a fancy-dress party the previous evening): I was going to go as Simon Bates but I couldn't find anybody to wear the other face.[4] * Peel : I can't use that word on the radio...let's put 'Simon Bates' in there.
