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 tells an anecdote about answering the Mayo phone to somebody asking about Climie Fisher tour dates, and avers that he really doesn't care because one of the redoubtable duo said he (JP) was their least favourite DJ.
  • Reading Friday's Radio 1 schedule: "At 9 o'clock, the Bee Gees at the Wembley Arena. Another one not to miss, I think."
  • John speaks approvingly of the Mary Whitehouse Experience radio show, of which he says, "normally of course the words 'radio' and 'comedy' do not go easily together, but the couple I did hear were most entertaining."

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'At this point, this wonderful record degenerates into the inevitable woman faking orgasm sequence, which is a great pity I think. If it had gone on like that for another ten minutes, I should have been very happy. It does go on for about another five minutes, in fact, but not as good as that.')
(JP: 'I mentioned in last night's programme that our William had gone, with one or two other people, to see the Fall playing in Cambridge last night, [1] the first time he'd ever seen them, and he'd never expressed any interest in the records and things, but apparently he came back home, his eyes with a strange glitter in them, asking where Dad kept his Fall records. So I'd better divert him back to noise, I think.')
(JP: 'D'ye know, Richard Skinner's in here already? That boy's ready to rock, just look at him in there, my goodness me, limbering up. He'll be terrific, don't you worry.')
