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.

  • Peel in relatively high spirits despite "two own goals and a missed penalty" during the Liverpool F.C. League Cup match earlier in the evening against QPR which ended 2-2[1]. JP: "Are we entering the realms of farce here? I rather suspect that we are". The result deprived Liverpool of a place in the final and a possible clean sweep of the three domestic titles. Peel reads a letter from a listener about half way through the show requesting a track "in anticipation of QPR's defeat against Liverpool". 
  • Spirits are definitely lifted however by the newly released cover version of Peter Gunn by Art of Noise featuring Duane Eddy himself. After playing the Art of Noise track, Peel replays the track where Duane Eddy speaks on the record. JP: "I've never heard him speak before. "Oh, you don't think I should do one more?" may very easily turn out to be the most important words ever spoken in the English language".
