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.

  • Show comes from Peel Acres with Cat Power playing live.
  • JP appears slightly miffed that everybody seems to be having a good time in the kitchen (listening to Radio 2!) while he's working alone on the show.
  • Before the first Cat Power live track, Nellie the dog makes an unscheduled appearance in the studio.
  • It's explained that Cat Power's first name should be pronounced "Shawn" not "Chan".
  • The hornets mentioned on 16 August 2001 have returned.
  • The Betty Everett track is played as a tribute to the American Soul singer who had died on 19th August.
  • "Ian The Tank Engine" gets a chorus of Happy Birthday and a "fantastically fattening and death-dealing" cake to celebrate his birthday the previous day.
  • Disappointment is expressed when Tom and Flossie fail to bring any Elvis impersonators back from the local pub. Apparently there had been nine of them.
