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.

(JP (referring to soundbite in previous trailer): 'I must admit, the concept of an ostrich head in the ground ploughing on is quite attractive.')
(JP: 'Simon Joyner in session this afternoon. We've obviously been looking forward to a session from him for some time. We've tried a couple of times in the past to get him in here when he's been travelling through Europe and have failed: this time we've succeeded.')
(JP: 'Three coming up from Dweeb: for some reason, when I was putting this programme together, I just thought, let's play all of those Dweeb numbers back to back. There was a sound reason for it at the time, but frankly I've forgotten what it was.')
