- Peel mentioned seeing the film as a teenager on the 1994 BBC World Service documentary called Teenagers, where he described how he related to the film when he was a teenager: "Blackboard Jungle I suppose was the first time when I saw the film and heard Rock 'n' Roll Around The Clock, which was the kind of theme tune to it, I thought this is me, this is about me, well quite clearly it wasn't, it was mainly about black kids in New York, well I certainly wasn't a black kid or living in New York, it wasn't much about me at all, but at the same time you could kind of identify with it."
