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.

Comments
  • Second of a week of programmes celebrating 10 years of Peel shows (on/and Radio One), each featuring an hour of choices by one listener. This time, it's the selections of Neville Thorner from Somerset. Show can be dated by reference to Arsenal-Liverpool match (result was 0-0).
  • Comments before the T. Rex track that's it's a "particularly poignant" choice that was made before the death of Marc Bolan. Afterwards he remarks that the song was "not entirely representative, but the principle I think is right."
  • Says the Eric Clapton track is a "curious choice" as he doesn't remember playing it on the radio before.
