 * Comments
 * Alan Freeman presents an additional Saturday Show running from 11.00 pm to 12.00 midnight (an hour at which Radio 1 did not usually broadcast at that time on Saturdays; this followed the simultaneous broadcast with BBC2 of the Kinks' Christmas concert, and Alan had hosted his usual three-hour show earlier that day featuring the year's quadrophonic sessions).
 * Fluff mentions saying Merry Christmas to John Peel and his family before playing the Faces track.
 * Fluff gets Tony Wilson to say Merry Christmas before the end of the show.
 * The available audio - the full hour-long extra show plus the midnight Radio 2 News - consists entirely of album requests from listeners.
