How It Is was a youth-orientated music and discussion programme transmitted on BBC1 TV in 1968, on which JP was a co-host and on the set of which he met Sheila for the first time. One of Peel's co-hosts was the Australian author and "futurist" Richard Neville, widely known as the co-editor of the Australian and UK versions of the counterculture magazine Oz, at the obscenity trial of which Peel testified. Radio Times of 11 October 1968 described the show as "A weekly programme by the young for the young in heart. It treats its audience as reasonably intelligent and aware people instead of as suburban suet puddings"

  • How It Is was a youth-orientated music and discussion programme transmitted on BBC1 TV in 1968, on which JP was a co-host and on the set of which he met Sheila for the first time. One of Peel's co-hosts was the Australian author and "futurist" Richard Neville, widely known as the co-editor of the Australian and UK versions of the counterculture magazine Oz, at the obscenity trial of which Peel testified. Radio Times of 11 October 1968 described the show as "A weekly programme by the young for the young in heart. It treats its audience as reasonably intelligent and aware people instead of as suburban suet puddings" The original series ran from July to December 1968; a short-lived follow-up, entitled How Late It Is to reflect its changed time slot, ran for ten episodes in spring and early summer of 1969. Both series were produced by Tony Palmer, who was also responsible for the 1968 TV films All My Loving and Cream Farewell Concert, which were shown in BBC1's arts series Omnibus, the former in particular provoking a controversy by linking the aggression of rock music to the violent political upheavals of the 1960s. Palmer was quoted in International Times as claiming that his superiors at the BBC had taken exception to the presence of "long-haired ruffians" Peel and Neville among the show's presenters. Guests included the student leader Tariq Ali, at the time considered a dangerous revolutionary by the British press. Despite its growing audience the show was too controversial for an increasingly nervous BBC, under pressure from the "Clean Up TV Campaign" led by Mrs Mary Whitehouse; it was taken off and Palmer was fired.
