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.

John Peel Wiki

John Peel appeared in one episode of the Saturday morning ITV children's programme Tiswas, in the course of which he was splashed with gunge in a cage with other guests. He also played an art critic on the show.

John Gorman, a friend of Peel's and a member of the Tiswas cast, was responsible for getting the DJ on the show. In a 2009 interview with the Liverpool Echo, the ex-Scaffold performer recalled:

“John was a big fan so I said ‘Come on it, then’. He wondered what he could do and, in the end, for this hilarious contrast, we had myself, Chris Tarrant and John having this conversation about life – apparently oblivious to the havoc being caused by the Phantom Flan Flinger, who was attacking the audience at the same time. We just carried on talking!”[1]
