We begin with facts about the Andes and the Andean condor, as Jarvis has been gigging in South America. Scott Walker pays a visit to chat about his album Bish Bosch. Jarvis asks about his writing process and recalls their time working together on a Pulp album. Scott discusses how he's influenced by visual art and cinema, performing 'in character', and slipping humour into his lyrics. Plus, how Ceaușescu inspired a Christmas song! On This Day, toddler Pu Yi ascended the Chinese throne, Napoleon crowned himself emperor (Stuart Hall explains why Napoleon is his hero) and Ringo Starr had his tonsils out. The Peel L is for Laibach. Birthdays: Maria Callas (advising on performance), Julie Harris (reading a poem about winter) and Britney Spears.
