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.

  • Actually he wrote the script too - or at least co-wrote it, I provided the material and he turned it into Peel, adding his own twists and lilts. He didn't admit it at the time, but he soldiered through the show in some pain, with a significant toothache. That night he left a message on my answerphone at home, apologizing for his crabby mood (hadn't even noticed it). I kept the microcassette for posterity; although I'd met many famous people at the BBC, I confess to having been a little starstruck producing the legendary John Peel.
