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.

Snapshots was a series broadcast on Channel 4 between 1991 and 1993, where celebrities return to places of their past, which hold a special meaning for them. The programmes were around 10-15 minutes long and John Peel was featured on one episode, broadcast in January 1993, where he visits Anglesey in Wales and talks about his holidays with his parents and his army days there.

A snippet from a Peel radio show is played Over the closing titles of Snapshots where he refers to the TV programme being recorded and him meeting someone in Anglesey who asked for a track by The Wild Swans. This is taken from his 26 September 1992 show. JP also talked about the filming of Snapshots on air the previous day, 25 September 1992. The two radio shows were in the week following his trip to Anglesey.
