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.

A Song For Europe

Sign in to edit

A Song For Europe was a BBC1 TV show broadcast annually to select the United Kingdom's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest. The show was presented by Terry Wogan and Peel is featured in the video clip for the 2003 A Song For Europe edition, where he talks about his fondness for the Eurovision Song Contest. Interestingly that year's Eurovision song contest made British history, when the British entry by Jemini scored nil points, the first time a British artist had achieved this status (often claimed to be at least partially because of British involvement in the invasion of Iraq). However their Eurovision song Cry Baby did reach number 15 in the UK Singles Chart.
