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.

Comments
  • "... so welcome to the Mark Peel programme. In the studio a posse of amusing people who will laugh immoderately at everything I say and, of course, there are inevitably changes in our music policy." JP then plays 20 seconds or so of Simply Red's 'Thrill Me' before interrupting it with a ‘Do me a favour!’ and starting a Fall song.
  • First Saturday evening show following changes to the Radio 1 schedule – which go some way to explain John’s opening comments above.

Tracklisting[]

  • Files 2 & 4 begin
(Rupa Huq does a Bengali jingle, which translates as "John Peel is fat and old, he isn't that good looking too. And he only likes his own songs. Go Johnny Go.")
  • File 1 begins
("As you may have noticed, nearly everyone on the new, everyday value One FM is called Mark. So welcome to the Mark Peel programme. In the studio a posse of amusing people who will laugh immoderately at everything I say and, of course, there are inevitably changes in our music policy.")
(JP: ‘I’m supposed to discuss football with you, amongst other things, in the course of this programme, but at the moment it’s all rugby players holding babies so we’ll have to wait for a while I think.)
(JP: ‘In case you didn’t listen to the programmes when they were on late at night, and you’ve never heard a woman called Camille Howard be prepared to be astonished. This was recorded in 1949 and when Camille played the piano it stayed played.’)
(JP: ‘Now for our regular “Delicacies From The Captain’s Table” spot.’)
(5:30 News)
(JP: ‘Well you know what staffing levels are like these days. Not easy for anyone and we weren’t able to find any sort of major celebs to review football matches for us but I have got at least one match report for you. Well this is it.’ John then plays a recording of a phone call with his wife Sheila, giving a report on the afternoons match between Ipswich Town and Everton.)
(JP: Martin Offiah we know but this is the previously unidentified Jack O’Fire, seven inch single on Estrus records, another import from America, and a version of Howling Wolf’s Moaning At Midnight.’)
  • Edsel Auctioneer: ‘State Of Grace’ (Peel Session)
  • File 5 ends and File 6 begins during above track
(JP: ‘Johnnie Walker has just walked into the studio next door looking fresh and rather lovely actually.’)
