This show's curious name was probably inspired by Radio Two's Friday Night Is Music Night, a live show concentrating on music of the Light Programme era - light orchestral and film music, stage musicals and operetta. It began in 1953 and is described by Wikipedia as "the world's longest-running live orchestral music radio programme"[1]. According to BBC Genome's listings, in 1972 it began at 9 p.m, before the split between Radio One and Radio Two at 10 p.m. The introduction to Peel's show described above is clearly a parody of the opening slogan of the Radio Two show and would have assured Peel's listeners they were tuned to the right station, while making Friday Night Is Music Night listeners switch off or retune to Radio Two's AM frequency
