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
  • Peel mistakenly plays Sink's Baby instead of Chocolate Love near the beginning of the show.
  • Peel plays a snippet of Kiri Te Kanawa's fake cockney accent of "Wouldn't It Be Loverly" from My Fair Lady to show listeners how bad it is.
  • Peel believes the word 'moist' is probably the most erotic word in the English language.
  • Peel plays an old track from Hermine covering Roy Orbison's Blue Angel, and a 1967 Motown hit by Gladys Knight and the Pips.
  • The singer Georgia Brown played here is not the Georgia Brown known for her appearances in West End and Broadway musicals (and for her authentic cockney accent), but a less well-known country singer..
