29 October 2004 (BBC World Service)

Show

 * Name
 * John Peel Tribute


 * Station
 * BBC World Service


 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 2004-10-29


 * Comments
 * Not a Peel show, but a tribute by the World Service featuring mainly interviews and fan testimonials. Presented by Mark Coles, who notes that the BBC tribute site received more than a quarter of a million hits in the last four days, and 32,000 sent emails to the World Service. The tracks played are only very brief extracts.
 * Despite the show's laudable intentions, it is not without inaccuracies (e.g Peel's first Radio 1 contract was for eight weeks, not six; and the Smiths' first single was 'Hand In Glove,' not 'This Charming Man').

I do know that everything I wanted when I was a kid, a house in the country (not a big house, but a nice enough place), dogs, cats, an astounding wife, really nice children (I've had my rows with them, but I'm very proud of them all), and a job on the radio playing records that I like. You get lots and lots of free records, and it's difficult to think what could be added to this to improve it.')
