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.

  • Start of show: "You know I came in early this morning to the BBC to try and catch up all the mail last week and I was sitting in the office, the sun came up gazing fondly at the bags of cards and letters that were piled high all over the place, they still love me I thought, the little people out there, you know, they really care, then I open it all up and it was for Mark Ellen, there's no loyalty you know."
  • Peel mentions he was disappointed that Die Toten Hosen's Bommerlunder record did not make it to the 1983 Festive Fifty and then plays a hip hop version of the band's alternative name, Increadible T.H. Scratchers, called the Hip-Hop Bommi-Bop.
  • Peel chats to David Jensen, where Jensen countsdown the UK Top 40 singles chart on Peel's show to show him what is in the charts.
  • Peel mentions taking photos of the Pig with road signs next to her.
  • Peel mentions his holiday in Portugal last week and recommends people to visit there.
