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.

  • Start of show: “Happy birthday, Floss.”
  • Dedicates the only song he knows called Florence to his daughter, who is no longer a teenager. Says if anyone tells him of others he’ll save them up for next year – “when she again won’t be listening.”
  • A listener tells JP by email that he finds it hard to explain Peel’s role in The Things We Do For Love (TV series). Peel says his brother Alan produced it and it would have been “churlish and unbrotherly” not to have done it when asked.
  • After a series of mishaps, Peel promises no more mistakes – and immediately plays the wrong record.
  • Apologizes to a listener who expected to see him DJ at All Tomorrow’s Parties the previous Friday night. Says he “wasn’t fully operational” over the weekend.
  • Pink Floyd track played after a cover in Low's All Tomorrow's Parties set (broadcast the previous Thursday, on 25 April 2002). Peel says the track’s inclusion of the Kop singing You’ll Never Walk Alone has a “rather grim irony” after the weekend result at White Hart Lane (Liverpool lost 0-1 away to Spurs).
  • The Brothers Seven single was apparently produced by an obscure relative of JP’s in the US. Peel admits, though, that the title isn’t great.
