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.

Arena is a British documentary series made and run by the BBC. It has run since 1st October 1975, and over 500 episodes have been made. On one episode called Today Carshalton Beeches ... Tomorrow Croydon, directed by Anthony Wall, the documentary looked into the role John Peel and his producer John Walters have had in the encouragement of bands who have yet to break into commercial recording. The programme was first broadcast on BBC2 on 31 January 1981 [1], but was repeated on BBC Four on 30 September 2007.

The original broadcast was highlighted with a short Radio Times feature on Walters & Peel entitled "The Two Johnnies" in the issue for programmes starting 31 January 1981.[2]
