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.

Carl Palmer of ELP at 7:55 of the video mentions Peel before an archive footage of JP spitting out the biscuit shape of the letter E representing ELP

Peel makes an archive footage appearance on the programme where a clip of the letters ELP in biscuit form is displayed and the DJ takes a bite of the letter E and spits it out saying 'I Was right then and I'm right now'. ELP referred to the band, Emerson Lake & Palmer, a prog rock band that Peel was not so keen on.
