BBC 2 Saturday November 6th 22:00-23:30.
To include "Turn That Racket Down" from 1999 and updated John Peel - TV Personallity.
Radio 4 23:30 JP narates Chambre ardman and the Lost City of Liverpool.

And yet again he's marginalised to the late hours. The BBC still can't treat him with respect,even though he's dead.

On the day he died, Channel4 had an interview with Andy Kershaw, in which he related that John felt that the even later Radio 1 slot "was killing him".

Very disappointing.

Rock 'n' Roll ain't mains pollution

Hi BigH47,

You beat me to it by 8 minutes. My wife and I have just noticed the tribute on tonight.

We will be sitting down with a bottle of Champagne to toast the Master one last time.

Like many here I am certain that both directly and indirectly John Peel affected my listening patterns. I still rush down to buy new music in a way my parent's generation (of which JP was a member!) never did.

Rock on John!

Very true comments chaps, tuck it away late at night style from the dumb fucks at the beeb as is now the norm. Why the hell is someone so influential not on earlier? If it were some royal waste of skin it would be wall to wall from 18.00 - midnight. Funnily enough, we've got the Champagne on ice as well.

John Peel's Sounds of the Suburbs

Another chance to see a classic episode of the series in which the late, great DJ journeyed through the suburbs and satellite towns of Britain, examining the landscapes and social conditions that gave birth to so many world-influencing musical and youth movements.
