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.

(JP: 'And yesterday I spent about 4 hours in traffic driving over to Bedford to go a place called The Squires to see Babes In Toyland, having missed them previously, it was worth every single minute of it, they were utterly glorious') @

(JP: 'Yesterday, as I mentioned at the start of the programme, I went to see Babes In Toyland playing in Bedford and they were quite wonderful: I won't go through all that again. I mean, they really were superb, and you ought to definitely make the most strenuous efforts imaginable to see them before they return to the United States Of America. Standing some way in front of me, and enjoying them hugely, was a bloke in an inside-out T-shirt, which seemed to be a kind of cue for something.')
(JP: 'I think we all have friends who are cardboard boxes, in fact most of my friends are cardboard boxes, a good two-thirds of them.')
(JP: 'Something which I didn't know meself actually about Radio 1 until this evening is, they switch the heating off at 1 o'clock. It's bitterly cold in here!')
(JP: 'Not only do they switch the heating off, I think they turn the air conditioning on. It's unbelievable in here.')
