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.

  • Start of show: “Here I am seconds from starting a top programme on the nation’s number one from coast to coast and The Voice comes in says 'Have you got any money?' There are more important things.”
  • First track of the night is slightly delayed: "I pressed the start button on a machine that didn't have a CD in it."
  • ”Golden gasser” from the Smiths is followed by 'DJ Rumpus’ Bigmouth' – “two entirely unrelated records”.
  • Says Mogwai have apparently been advised that the Peel show doesn’t have the right profile, but “we still love them.” On the other hand, “Be honest, would you want to do anything that did have the right profile in the eyes of the marketing folk? I certainly wouldn’t. Wish I was a fighting man.”
  • On 'Good Rockin' Tonight' (part of the 1947 Peelenium): "Just think what I would have been like if I'd known about records like that last one when I was eight years old. I mean, the sky's the limit."
