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 mentions that he thought France would win the world cup football tournament, but they lost 2-0 to West Germany in the semi-finals today.
  • Peel reads a letter from someone who signs himself as 'Kapil Dev', named after the Indian cricketer, who complains that his show does not play any music, which Asians would like. Peel responds and says he doesn't think of what race his listeners are, when doing his programmes, but does sympathise with him, when mentioning the lack of Asian music on the radio.
  • Peel was supposed to play Zion Send Come Call Me by Nicaraguan band Zinica, but instead played I Got The Blues When It Rains, but decided to let the record play.
