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 telephones Clare Grogan during the programme to get an update on the activities of Altered Images. The first time he calls, she is unavailable. He reveals that she is being picked up at the airport having flown back from recording the B-side to the next single, which is to be 'Happy Birthday'.
  • Three winners of a recent "exhilarating" competition to win a copy of a German LP by Reifenstahl are announced.
  • Perusing the gig guide for Friday, Peel notices that Wah! are playing in Norwich. He says they can stay at Peel Acres afterwards. "Do I mean that, or am I being a bit reckless?" he muses.
  • Noele Gordon was best known for her role in the long-running ITV soap opera 'Crossroads'.
