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.

  • Tape inlay reads 'April '89'.
  • "I've always, in the course of these programmes, wanted to give advice to people: as the father of four children, I feel that I'm probably the least equipped person on the face of the earth to give advice, because obviously I give lots of advice to my children. They just look at me in the kind of pitying way that children have, to say kind of, 'You stupid old berk!', and they occasionally call me things like that and pay no attention at all to what I suggest, and by and large of course, their decision turns out to be the right one."

(JP: 'Further nudes, knees and knockabouts on BFBS with John Peel's Music, and a range of interesting records, including some good rowdy stuff, as always. We start with....')
(JP: 'And Dalglish is eight, the sequence should have continued: I'm not quite sure why they left that out, I suppose it's, you know, Americans. My goodness.')
