John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

  • A cricket song by the Man Ezeke and England captain Tony Greig, who, notoriously, said that in the 1976 Test Match series he would make the West Indies team "grovel" - a remark which infuriated West Indians who saw it as racist. The comment rebounded on him, with the Windies dominating and winning the five-match series 3-0[1]. But according to Virgin's press release, Greig, being a "good sport", agreed to record this track with Ezeke, his spoken contributions recalling past England successes and saying things would be different next time.
  • Peel dedicates the Oldham Tinkers track to the Pig, who he says doesn't have time to listen to the programme, due to baby William screaming his head off between 11 and 1 and is not sure quite why.
