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".

A video clip of the group featured in the 20th anniversary addition of Top of the Pops, presented by Peel and Kid Jensen on 05 January 1984. Peel merely comments that the Rollers were "one of the biggest bands of the 1970s". He never seems to have played any of their records although he has played some Rollers cover versions.

Lata 1974-75 to wybuch wielkiej popularności grupy, określanej przez prasę mianem "Rollermanii", przyrównywanej nawet do "Beatlemanii" sprzed dekady, wszystkie utwory okupowały najwyższe miejsca list przebojów, a płyty rozchodziły sie w ogromnych nakładach. Popularność nie trwała jednak zbyt długo, zespół ostatecznie rozpadł sie w 1981 r. Obecnie działają dwie grupy, dyskontujące dawną popularność, prowadzone przez byłych członków Rollersów: "Les McKeown's Legendary Bay City Rollers" oraz "Ian Mitchell's Bay City Rollers".
