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 introduces the show as follows: "Just like a flower when winter begins / and just like a fire in icy winds / Just like a doll that is wanted no more / That's how I sometimes feel". This achingly lovely verse is a translation from the winning German entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and I hope it will mean as much to you as it already means to me." (translated from 'Ein bißchen Frieden' by Nicole).
  • Kid Jensen is still in the studio for the first 30 minutes of the programme at least and can be heard on occasions. JP refers to him as 'Neil'.
  • JP says that he spent time at home over the weekend listening to records, "waiting for the birth of child D who hasn't actually put in an appearance yet".
  • Peel mentions two football-related competitions that he's running. One is to write a song with the title "Well Brian it was a 50-50 ball". The quality of entries appears not to have impressed him!
