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.

  • The first session track by Million Dead is a Tori Amos cover.
  • The previous Thursday night's programme (20 November 2003) had been broadcast from the studios of Radio Suffolk in Ipswich following a problem with the ISDN line at Peel Acres. Peel has subsequently learned that the cable had been damaged by the local highways authority who were clearing gullies as part of anti-flooding measures.
  • A listener asks if Peel will be playing The Fall's 'Theme From Sparta FC' on tomorrow night's show. This is because Chelsea are playing Sparta Prague in the Champions League on the same evening. Peel obliges.
  • The subject of football crops up during the show. JP: "My interest in football diminishes with every week, I must admit. I've obviously reached the point already this season when all you can do is rejoice in the discomfiture of other teams, because Liverpool clearly have got about as much chance of winning the Premiership - about two thirds of them don't seem to be even remotely interested in winning a game, let alone the Premiership - about as much chance as I have of winning the Eurovision Song Contest."
