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: "Right, the people in quality control appear to be asleep, so it's time to slip another John Peel's Music From BFBS past the blighters. In the programme this week, all of the usual rowdy stuff, starting with...")
(JP: "I like the dream sequence in the middle of that: a chance for you to switch off your mind and float downstream, or whatever the quote is.") [1]

(JP: "While that was going on, a highly-trained member of the BFBS technical staff came in and removed the compact disc player from this studio. They don't trust me here, you know.")
(JP: "Never can make up me mind about those, you know. Sometimes I like 'em, sometimes I don't.")
(JP: "One of the great footballers he was, you know, Ralph Coates. Dunno what he does these days: I hope he's doing something worthwhile and that he enjoys. One of the few players I'd like to have seen playing for Liverpool who didn't, in fact: played for Burnley and Spurs, as I say, he was completely wasted when he came to London to play for Spurs.")

Footnotes
  1. "Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream" (Beatles, Tomorrow Never Knows).
  2. John's memory and Wikipedia seem to be at odds here: to quote the latter, "he played over 300 games for Tottenham and earned winner's medals for the 1972 UEFA Cup and the 1973 Football League Cup Final where he scored the winning goal in the final."
