Peel may well have admired Arlott not just for his poetic turns of phrase, but for his liberal and humanitarian views, not always found among the conservative cricket establishment of his time. Unlike many of them, Arlott was a vocal opponent of South Africa's apartheid regime and in 1970 told the BBC he would not work as a commentator if an all-white South African cricket team played a Test series in England (in the end, that tour was cancelled). The DJ also remembered meeting Arlott at a BBC event and being held spellbound as the commentator delivered a monologue (ref).
