The Rollers were very much a part of the Radio 1 landscape during the height of their popularity, although their music and style could not have been further from Peel's tastes at that or at any other time. During The Radio One Story documentary (repeated in an audio clip featured in the "Teenage Dreams" documentary first broadcast 16 December 2004) Peel recalls an episode during a Radio 1 'Fun Day' at Mallory Park when the group were helicoptered into the open air event attended by hundreds of hysterical fans, while the only 'security' was made up of members of the BBC sub-aqua club. He refers to the group's and the fans' distinctive attire as "Bay City Roller chic, if such a thing is not a contradiction in terms".
