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 starts the programme with an emotional tribute to former BBC colleague Teddy Warrick, who passed away the previous night, describing him as a "lovely man" and "like a second dad to me." JP says anyone who enjoys his shows owes a debt of gratitude to Warrick: "For nearly 20 years in the 70s and 80s, Teddy was the man in the Radio One management who fought to keep these programs on the air and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his work." First record is dedicated to Warrick and his wife.
  • 1986 Peelenium, after which Peel says he believes Half Man Half Biscuit are even better now, although others may disagree. Then plays 'I Can't Help Myself' by The Four Tops to follow up 'Levi Stubbs' Tears' and says he'd always planned to do this.
