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 Trials Of Oz

(Related pages: Oz)

A BBC2 dramatisation - part of the 1991-5 'Performance' series, which represented the last stand of one-off studio drama on the BBC - of the famous 1971 trial in which the editors of the British underground magazine Oz were charged with obscenity. The programme was broadcast 1991-11-09, with a cast led by Hugh Grant that included Nigel Planer (formerly Neil in The Young Ones) playing Peel. JP commented on Planer's performance:

"I thought he was rather good. He got the accent wrong actually, but I mean that is not particularly important. But rather embarrassingly he got all of my sort of facial tics and mannerisms and unfortunate ducking and weaving off to a tee. My family were much impressed with it anyway - 'Just like your dad'."[1]
