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.

The BBC Digital Adverts were made by the BBC in the late 90s to inform viewers and listeners about its new digital service, which provided extra TV and radio channels. The adverts, broadcast on TV and radio, featured media celebrities talking about the service.

Peel made an appearance in one such advert in 1999, sitting in a bath tub full of bubbles saying digital radio sounds good but not worth getting wet for.
