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 at start of show: "Hi pals, wasn't I gorgeous on that Rock Around The Clock thing, I hope you saw me, at least you could hear me above the booing. On tonight's programme, the Radio One debut from Slab! and a repeat of our recent session from the Mighty Lemon Drops. Amongst the records, Sugar Minott, Wise Acres, Parliament, Slaughtermen, Ted Hawkins, Red Letter Day, Skinny Boys, Milkshakes, Eze "T", Elvis Presley, The Woodentops, Soup Dragons and New Order, three tracks from the new LP, from which this is but the first."
  • Peel mentions a letter from listener, Steven Knight, that the letters comprising of Simon Bates makes an anagram to the words Moist Beans, which JP responds by saying that 'I could sleep a lot better tonight.'
